If we're calling this with the cache already enabled, presumably you're
doing this to cover the case where we're disabling the cache.

1. Do you really want to *invalidate* the L2 cache, discarding its
   contents?
2. Don't you think that... if you needed something like this here, then
   it could be a defficiency in the common code?

If (2) doesn't apply, then should be a comment here why this is needed.
