+Enforce ordering between stores and instruction cache fetches.  The range of
+addresses over which ordering is enforced is specified by @var{start} and
+@var{end}.  The @var{flags} argument controls the extent of this ordering, with
+the default behavior (a @var{flags} value of 0) being to enforce the fence on
+all threads in the current process.  Setting the
+@code{SYS_RISCV_FLUSH_ICACHE_LOCAL} bit allows users to indicate that enforcing
+ordering on only the current thread is necessary.  All other flag bits are
+reserved.
