Suppose you have optimization disabled and the MMU and data cache is on.  Now 
you call this function.  The return address will be stored on the stack (in the 
cache).  Now MMU/cache is disabled.  Now the return address is retrieved from 
the stack (from memory) on return.  Now everything is pretty unpredictable.
