The problem that I percieve with these kinds of hacks is that they
tend to spread into other code, and then we end up with problems
when new architectures come along.

For these interfaces, I am a strong believer in purpose-defined
interfaces to caches and the like.  If what we have doesn't provide
what's required, we need to provide something else.

So, the question is what are you trying to do with this
dmac_flush_range() and your SRAM?  Are you trying to achieve I/D cache
coherency for data written there, so you can execute it later, or are
you trying to ensure DMA coherency from SRAM?
