That would be much better. Please feel free to replace my hack.
But please don't enable it on platforms that it doesn't work on.
For example, we have:
void
agp_flush_cache()
{
#ifdef __i386__
wbinvd();
#endif
}
There's no alpha or ia64 support, so don't enable it there unless this
cache flushing isn't needed.
Cheers,
