Look for ICache::invalidate_range, I see 11 calls on x64.
And one call to AbstractICache/ICache::invalidate_word.
Btw I have spent some time looking at x86/icache_x86.cpp...
But that is whole new subject and let's keep that separate from this :)

I'll create issues for some of these topics, which if nothing else should be 
discussed.
