Good idea.  I have updated the diff: 
https://people.freebsd.org/~sson/mips/cacheflush/mips_cacheflush.diff

i.e., added the following to cachectl.h:

+/* IRIX API compatible aliases. */
+#define	ICACHE	MIPS_CF_ICACHE
+#define	DCACHE	MIPS_CF_DCACHE
+#define	BCACHE	MIPS_CF_BCACHE
+
+static inline int
+cacheflush(void *addr, int nbytes, int whichcache)
+{
+
+	return (mips_cacheflush(addr, (size_t)nbytes, whichcache));
+}
+
+static inline int
+_flush_cache(char *addr, int nbytes, int whichcache)
+{
+
+	return (mips_cacheflush((void *)addr, (size_t)nbytes, whichcache));
+}

-stacey.
