Now you should also flush the d-cache explicitly for the case of
updating the trap table, as I mentioned in my previous email the store
to tbr[] can get cached in d-cache, so if we don't flush d-cache to
memory and it is write-back cache, there could be a problem. (I don't
know whether sparc32 cache are write-back or write-thru.)
