We use the rom infrastructure to write firmware and/or initial kernel
blobs into guest address space. So we're basically emulating the cache
off phase on very early system bootup.
That phase is usually responsible for clearing the instruction cache for
anything it writes into cachable memory, to ensure that after reboot we
don't happen to execute stale bits from the instruction cache.
So we need to invalidate the icache every time we write a rom into guest
address space. We do not need to do this for every DMA since the guest
expects it has to flush the icache manually in that case.
This fixes random reboot issues on e5500 (booke ppc) for me.
