Ha. Couldn't hurt ;)

I was pretty sure flushing the caches was an important part of the sequence to
avoid HMI's. I believe you are trying to deal with unexpected guest terminations
which means the driver won't have a chance to flush the caches prior to
termination so wouldn't you also need to do that somewhere? Unless the driver
does it at startup?
