Known Issues
------------
re-initializes the cache. The more common uImage 'bootm' command does
not suffer this problem.
- [workaround] To avoid this cache incoherency,
- 1) insert flush_cache(all) before calling dcache_disable(), or
- 2) fix dcache_disable() to do both flushing and disabling cache.

* Note that Linux users need to kill dcache_disable() in do_bootelf_exec()
or override do_bootelf_exec() not to disable I-/D-caches, because most
-----
* Probe CPU types, I-/D-cache and TLB size etc. automatically
-
* Secondary cache support missing
-
* Initialize TLB entries redardless of their use
-
* R2000/R3000 class parts are not supported
-
* Limited testing across different MIPS variants
-
* Due to cache initialization issues, the DRAM on board must be
initialized in board specific assembler language before the cache init
code is run -- that is, initialize the DRAM in lowlevel_init().
-
* centralize/share more CPU code of MIPS32, MIPS64 and XBurst
-
* support Qemu Malta
