    25 // Interface for updating the instruction cache.  Whenever the VM modifies
    26 // code, part of the processor instruction cache potentially has to be flushed.
    28 // On the x86, this is a no-op -- the I-cache is guaranteed to be consistent
    29 // after the next jump, and the VM never modifies instructions directly ahead
    30 // of the instruction fetch path.
    32 // [phh] It's not clear that the above comment is correct, because on an MP
    33 // system where the dcaches are not snooped, only the thread doing the invalidate
    34 // will see the update.  Even in the snooped case, a memory fence would be
    35 // necessary if stores weren't ordered.  Fortunately, they are on all known
    36 // x86 implementations.
