Add data cache support for ARM V7 systems. Used cache flush
functions from linux:arch/arm/mm/cache-v7.S developed from
Catalin Marinas.
Enable "cache" command on Beagle board and test performance.
Test 1: Loading 127 MB of data from NAND flash into RAM:
Instr. Cache off on on
Data Cache off off on
--------------------------------------------------
Beagle (Cortex A8) 116s 106s 30.3s = x 3.8
Test 2: uncompressing a gzipped image from RAM to RAM
(size compressed: 6.5 MiB, uncompressed: 35 MiB):
Instr. Cache off on on
Data Cache off off on
--------------------------------------------------
Beagle (Cortex A8) 1.84s 1.64s 0.12s = x 15.3

The workarounds for errata 621766 and 725233 should only be applied
on affected Cortex-A8 revisions. Recent chips use r3px cores where
these have been fixed.

This function consists entirely of inline asm statements, so writing
it directly in a .S file is simpler. Additionally, the inline asm is
not safe as is, since registers are not guaranteed to be preserved
between asm() statements.

On OMAP34xx ES1.0, the L2 enable bit can only be set in secure mode,
so an SMC call to the ROM monitor is required. On later versions,
and on newer devices, this bit is banked and we can set it directly.
The code checked only the ES revision of the chip, and hence incorrectly
used the ROM call on ES1.0 versions of other devices.
This patch adds a check for chip family as well as revision, and also
removes some code duplication between the enable and disable functions.

The purpose of this patch is to prepare for adding the OMAP4 architecture, which is Cortex A9
Cortex A8 and A9 both belong to the armv7 architecture, hence the name change.
The two architectures are similar enough that substantial code can be shared.
