  // No need to flush the instruction cache on Intel. On Intel instruction
  // cache flushing is only necessary when multiple cores running the same
  // code simultaneously. V8 (and JavaScript) is single threaded and when code
  // is patched on an intel CPU the core performing the patching will have its
  // own instruction cache updated automatically.

  // If flushing of the instruction cache becomes necessary Windows has the
  // API function FlushInstructionCache.

  // By default, valgrind only checks the stack for writes that might need to
  // invalidate already cached translated code.  This leads to random
  // instability when code patches or moves are sometimes unnoticed.  One
  // solution is to run valgrind with --smc-check=all, but this comes at a big
  // performance cost.  We can notify valgrind to invalidate its cache.
