It has been noticed on MT7628/88 platforms, that booting the RAM image does not work reliably. Sometimes it works and sometimes not. Debugging showed that this "might" be a cache related issue as very strange errors occurred (e.g. output corrupted etc).
This patch adds a cache flush for the complete SDRAM area to the go cmd before jumping to the entry point for the MIPS architecture. The complete area is flushed as we don't know at this point, how big the area of the "application" really is.

please replace gd->bd->bi_memsize with gd->ram_top. One reason is described in

This also covers MIPS platforms with 64 Bit or multiple or non-linear memory mappings. Thanks.
