c3330e9d6a ARM (ARM926ejs): add data cache support, tested on magnesium and tx25 board
Enable "cache" command on tx25 and magnesium 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
    --------------------------------------------------
    magnesium           32,6s   22,5s   30s     = x 1,09
    tx25 (29MB only)    9,69s   5,05s   8,16s   = x 1,19

    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
    --------------------------------------------------
    magnesium           4,25s   2,08s   1,72s   = x 2,47
    tx25                4,82s   2,04s   1,84s   = x 2,62

Portions of this work were supported by funding from

bbe310922f arm, i.mx27: add support for magnesium board from projectiondesign
This patch adds support for the magnesium board from
projectiondesign. This board uses i.MX27 SoC and has
8MB NOR flash, 128MB NAND flash, FEC ethernet controller
integrated into i.MX27. As this port is based on
the imx27lite port, common config options are collected
in include/configs/imx27lite-common.h
