Not sure, could be __ARM_NR_cacheflush or maybe when adding foreign
mappings to a p2m we should make them uncached depending on the target
VCPUs state (in particular when the domain is under construction, I'm
less concerned with domains which turn off caching at runtime). Or maybe
he had some other idea.
