Thanks for running those experiments, I cannot explain what you are 
seeing, so there must be some sort of erratum applicable to the 
BMIPS4380 revision used on the 6358 somehow...

If you can make the suggested change to use negative logic in order to 
disable the RAC flushing, that would work for me, also maybe add a 
Fixes: tag so it gets backported to stable trees?

Thanks!
