One of the ARM guys pointed out the cache issue before I had meant to send this note then.

That specific cache behavior is a part of e.g. ACPI C3 state support (e.g. ACPI5.1 8.1.4 Processor Power State C3). As you note, it's not going to work on 64-bit ARM as it does on x86, but it's optional to implement C3 and early 64-bit ARM systems should not report Wbindv flags in the FADT anyway. They can also set FADT.P_LVL3_LAT > 1000, which has the effect of disabling C3 support, while also allowing for use of _CST objects to define more flexible C-States later on.
