 * The functions in this file define the API to the RTEMS Cache Manager and
 * are divided into data cache and instruction cache functions. Data cache
 * functions are only meaningful if a data cache is supported. Instruction
 * cache functions are only meaningful if an instruction cache is supported.
 *
 * The functions below are implemented with CPU dependent support routines
 * implemented as part of libcpu. In the event that a CPU does not support a
 * specific function, the CPU dependent routine does nothing (but does exist).
 *
 * At this point, the Cache Manager makes no considerations, and provides no
 * support for BSP specific issues such as a secondary cache. In such a system,
 * the CPU dependent routines would have to be modified, or a BSP layer added
 * to this Manager.
