The intent of my Q was to replace mips1_wbflush() routine found in
locore_mips1.S with one which do 'standard thing' in general cases.

So, isn't it ok to provide generic but possibly less-optimal default;

	LEAF(mips1_wbflush)
		lui	v0, 0x8000
		lw	v0, 0(v0)
		j	ra
		nop
		END(mips1_wbflush)

For R3000A-or-later model only ports, it'd be nice to have #define for
__asm __volatile making sure KSEG1 load.

Does it mean there is a handy improvement of bus_space_write_N()?
