SubjectReal time cache management functions
What features do real time OS's such as VxWorks have that Linux doesn't?  

A guy at work commented that VxWorks has functions to enable or disable
caching of memory ranges and Linux would need similar functions to compete
in our moderatly real time (10-30ms) applications. I've seen the recent
patches for MTRR on the intel processors, which sounds similar to what he
wants.

But why intel unique? Does Linux control caching in a cross-platform
portable way?

Does VxWorks really have something better or does Linux implement a
different but useful approach?
