Quite possibly (it'll be more efficient and it's intended for such use cases) but as I said in my other reply that then has the issue that it implicitly gives default values to all the registers so I'd expect we still need to handle the cache initialisation explicitly (or alternatively the hardware sync with the cache on startup).
