/* The data cache could lead to incorrect results because it doesn't
   know about volatile variables, thus making it impossible to debug
   functions which use memory mapped I/O devices.  Set the nocache
   memory region attribute in those cases.

   In general the dcache speeds up performance.  Some speed improvement
   comes from the actual caching mechanism, but the major gain is in
   the reduction of the remote protocol overhead; instead of reading
   or writing a large area of memory in 4 byte requests, the cache
   bundles up the requests into LINE_SIZE chunks, reducing overhead
   significantly.  This is most useful when accessing a large amount
   of data, such as when performing a backtrace.

   The cache is a splay tree along with a linked list for replacement.
   Each block caches a LINE_SIZE area of memory.  Within each line we
   remember the address of the line (which must be a multiple of
   LINE_SIZE) and the actual data block.

   Lines are only allocated as needed, so DCACHE_SIZE really specifies the
   *maximum* number of lines in the cache.

   At present, the cache is write-through rather than writeback: as soon
   as data is written to the cache, it is also immediately written to
   the target.  Therefore, cache lines are never "dirty".  Whether a given
   line is valid or not depends on where it is stored in the dcache_struct;
   there is no per-block valid flag.  */

/* NOTE: Interaction of dcache and memory region attributes

   As there is no requirement that memory region attributes be aligned
   to or be a multiple of the dcache page size, dcache_read_line() and
   dcache_write_line() must break up the page by memory region.  If a
   chunk does not have the cache attribute set, an invalid memory type
   is set, etc., then the chunk is skipped.  Those chunks are handled
   in target_xfer_memory() (or target_xfer_memory_partial()).

   This doesn't occur very often.  The most common occurrence is when
   the last bit of the .text segment and the first bit of the .data
   segment fall within the same dcache page with a ro/cacheable memory
   region defined for the .text segment and a rw/non-cacheable memory
   region defined for the .data segment.  */
