I think we have some shenanigans with @ioc_enable now.
Do note that it was more of a debug hack using when the hw feature was introduced
to be able to run same kernel on various FPGA bitfiles but just flicking a global
variable via the debugger.

So per code below, if @ioc_enable is NOT set, we still use software assisted cache
maintenance, but dma_{alloc,free} don't do use that variable. Have you tried
testing the combination when @ioc_enable is set to 0 before boot ? And is that works ?
