Can I disable Nios2 Data Cache?

I would like to explore the benefits of the /f core without the trouble of maintaining dcache coherency. I read in the SW Guide that the cache cannot be disabled, but wonder if there is a way. (either officially or otherwise)

I see in excalibur.h the define "always_bypass_dcache". It is set to 0 now, is there perhaps a .ptf setting or something?

Thanks,

Ken
