I think a tlbia() of the vaddr should work here.  No sense blowing
away the whole TLB cache for this.

It would be interesting to change __flush_dcache_icache()
to use the 8xx SPR cache operations instead of the dcbst instruction.
I wouldn't be surprised if it worked differently, but I'd not be
able to explain it :-)

Thanks.
