In general the dcache speeds up performance, some speed improvement
comes from the actual caching mechanism, but the major gain is in

+ ENTRY_OK means that the data is the same in the cache as it is in

The ENTRY_DIRTY state is necessary because GDB likes to write large
protocol overhead. This way, all those little writes are bundled
up into an entire cache line write in one go, without having to
read the cache line in the first place.

+/* NOTE: Interaction of dcache and memory region attributes
- */
+ As there is no requirement that memory region attributes be aligned
+ to or be a multiple of the dcache page size, dcache_read_line() and
+ dcache_write_line() must break up the page by memory region. If a
+ chunk does not have the cache attribute set, an invalid memory type
+ is set, etc., then the chunk is skipped. Those chunks are handled
+ in target_xfer_memory() (or target_xfer_memory_partial()).
+ This doesn't occur very often. The most common occurance is when
+ the last bit of the .text segment and the first bit of the .data
+ segment fall within the same dcache page with a ro/cacheable memory
+ region defined for the .text segment and a rw/non-cacheable memory
+ region defined for the .data segment. */
