Only with disabled MMU its possible to switch the base register address on Armada 38x. Without this the SDRAM located at >= 0x4000.0000 is also not accessible, as its still locked to cache.
So to fully release / unlock this area from cache, we need to first flush all caches, then disable the MMU and disable the L2 cache.
On Armada XP this does not seem to be needed. Even worse, with this code added, I sometimes see strange input charactes loss from the console.
