Dear Alex,

I admit that "冲洗" doesn't sound very good. But,How to translate
"refresh(刷新)"?:-)

The act of "flush" is to invalidate dirty data,This is obviously not
consistent with the act of "refreshing", which is simply invalid.
"刷新"  is actually two operations, i.e. brush off the old one and come
back to the new one.

BTW:
flush is ambiguous in the description of cache management because it
can mean both invalidation and write-back, while TLB only has an
invalidation operation here, so there is no ambiguity in using flush
here.

Thanks,
Yanteng
