[U-Boot] [PATCH] IXP425: make cmd_go handle caches correctly Part 1/1

[PATCH] IXP425: make cmd_go handle caches correctly
This patch adds icache_invalidate() and dcache_flush() to cpu/ixp/cpu.c.
Also it adds do_go_exec() which is called from do_go(). This private implementation performs cache handling before jumping into the code.
Without this cache handling, you will jump into stale code if you download a program several times.
The patch is against "latest" u-boot git-repository
Please (still) be patient if style of submission or patches are offending.

Sorry for the spaces.
BTW: In function calls: Is the space between function name are opening bracket desired or not? Seems this is handled very inconsistent.
