Maybe we should do two passes over SG lists then - one for the inner and
another for the outer cache?

In effect we could do three passes:

1. Calculate the total size of the SG list to determine whether full
   cache flush is more efficient.
2. Flush inner cache
   Then dsb()
3. Flush outer cache
   Another dsb()
