Hmmm, we have a prototype for arm_sync_icache() but no library function
for it.  I'll make a note to look into that asap.

Until I figure out how to add it properly, you could implement it
locally like this:

    #include <machine/sysarch.h>

    void arm_sync_icache(u_int addr, int len)
    {
        struct arm_sync_icache_args arg;

        arg.addr = (uintptr_t)addr;
        arg.len = (uintptr_t)len;

        sysarch(ARM_SYNC_ICACHE, &arg);
    }
