/* The data cache leads to incorrect results because it doesn't know about
volatile variables, thus making it impossible to debug functions which
use hardware registers. Therefore it is #if 0'd out. Effect on
performance is some, for backtraces of functions with a few
arguments each. For functions with many arguments, the stack
frames don't fit in the cache blocks, which makes the cache less
helpful. Disabling the cache is a big performance win for fetching
large structures, because the cache code fetched data in 16-byte
chunks. */
