On the zynq I use the cache manager interface and the L1 and L2 caches
are invalidated or flushed depending on the call.

You need to make sure you have correctly aligned buffers or you will see
errors. If the buffer shares a cache line with something else an
invalidate may invalidate memory that is owned by another piece of code.
