According to the OpenRISC architecture manual, the dcache and icache may not be present. When these caches are present, the invalidate and flush registers may be absent. The current implementation does not perform checks to verify their presence before utilizing cache registers, or invalidating and flushing cache blocks. Introduce new functions to detect the presence of cache components and related special-purpose registers. There are a few places where a range of addresses have to be flushed or invalidated and the implementation is duplicated. Introduce new utility functions and macros that generalize this implementation and reduce duplication.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
