Uhm, apologies. This paragraph was copy-pasted from the AARCH64
version (along with the preceding one), but it doesn't apply here.
Instead, it should read,

"""
So let's get rid of the blanket clean/invalidate operations, and
instead, invalidate each section entry right after it is updated, and
invalidate sets of level 2 entries in blocks, using the generic
invalidation routine from CacheMaintenanceLib.
"""
