i consider the cache one aspect of it. the users shouldnt have to know "oh i gotta turn off cache", they just have to know "i'm loading up my code and it's going to take over the system". that is why a "-noret" flags makes sense instead of trying to break down specific aspects. also adding a myriad of cache options to one function achieves the same thing as doing: dcache off; icache off; go <address> > > > Are you aware that U-Boot does use interrupts here and there?
