0dde7f5379 arm: Add control over cachability of memory regions
Add support for adjusting the L1 cache behavior by updating the MMU
configuration. The mmu_set_region_dcache_behaviour() function allows
drivers to make these changes after the MMU is set up.

It is implemented only for ARMv7 at present.

This is needed for LCD support, where we want to make the LCD frame buffer
write-through (or off) rather than write-back.

cabe2878a8 armv7: cache: remove flush on un-aligned invalidate
Remove the flush of boundary cache-lines done as part
of invalidate on a non cache-line boundary aligned
buffer

Also, print a warning when this situation is recognized.

882f80b993 armv7: stronger barrier for cache-maintenance operations
set-way operations need a DSB after them to ensure the
operation is complete. DMB may not be enough. Use DSB
after all operations instead of DMB.

2c451f7831 armv7: cache maintenance operations for armv7
- Add a framework for layered cache maintenance
	- separate out SOC specific outer cache maintenance from
	  maintenance of caches known to CPU

- Add generic ARMv7 cache maintenance operations that affect all
  caches known to ARMv7 CPUs. For instance in Cortex-A8 these
  opertions will affect both L1 and L2 caches. In Cortex-A9
  these will affect only L1 cache

- D-cache operations supported:
	- Invalidate entire D-cache
	- Invalidate D-cache range
	- Flush(clean & invalidate) entire D-cache
	- Flush D-cache range
- I-cache operations supported:
	- Invalidate entire I-cache

- Add maintenance functions for TLB, branch predictor array etc.

- Enable -march=armv7-a so that armv7 assembly instructions can be
  used
