Yes.

This is only used for testing so it happens infrequently and always 
after the probe has finished.

These error injection functions will not be part of the standard 
distribution for our board so it was cleaner to leave it out.

I checked the gen_pool and the memory may not be contiguous. I will fix 
this. Thanks!

flush_cache_all() maps to flush_kern_all() which cleans all the cache 
levels up to the level of coherency which includes L2 in it.

This flush ensures the data is in a known state (zero) before I inject 
the errors for testing L2 ECC.

OK. I didn't know of a way to read that register otherwise. I will 
rework this.
