Given that Oleg's fix info leak patch has been merged [1], the risk of leakage
is gone. So I am looking forward to your options about this patch. As many
functions start with same instructions like 'stp fp, lr, [sp, #imm]' or
'paciasp'. So I think this patch could avoid unnecessary D/I cache synchronization.
