With release of ARC HS38 v2.1 new IO coherency engine could be built-in
ARC core. This hardware module ensures coherency between DMA-ed data
from peripherals and L2 cache.
With L2 and IOC enabled there's no overhead for L2 cache manual
maintenance which results in significantly improved IO bandwidth.

[1] Align cache management functions to those in Linux kernel. I.e.:
a) Use the same functions for all cache ops (D$ Inv/Flush)
b) Split cache ops in 3 sub-functions: "before", "lineloop" and
"after". That way we may re-use "before" and "after" functions for
region and full cache ops.
[2] Implement full-functional L2 (SLC) management. Before SLC was
simply disabled early on boot. It's also possible to enable or disable
L2 cache from config utility.
[3] Disable/enable corresponding caches early on boot. So if U-Boot is
configured to use caches they will be used at all times (this is useful
in partucular for speed-up of relocation).

ARCv2 cores may have built-in SLC (System Level Cache, AKA L2-cache).
This change adds functions required for controlling SLC:
* slc_enable/disable
* slc_flush/invalidate
For now we just disable SLC to escape DMA coherency issues until either:
* SLC flush/invalidate is supported in DMA APIin U-Boot
* hardware DMA coherency is implemented (that might be board specific
so probably we'll need to have a separate Kconfig option for
controlling SLC explicitly)

Now we may select a particular version of ARC700:
* ARC750D or
* ARC770D
It allows more flexible (or more fine tuned) configuration of U-Boot.
Before that change we relied on minimal configuration but now we may
use specific features of each CPU.
Moreover allows us to escape manual selection of options that
exist in both CPUs but may have say different version like MMUv2 in
ARC750D vs MMUv3 in ARC770D.

Some cache operations ({i|d}cache_{enable|disable|status} or
flush_dcache_all) are built and used even if CONFIG_SYS_{I|D}CACHE_OFF
is set.
This is required for force disable of caches on early boot.
What if something was executed before U-boot and enabled caches
(low-level bootloaders, previously run kernel etc.)?
But if CPU doesn't really have caches any attempt to access
cache-related AUX registers triggers instruction error exception.
So for convenience we'll try to avoid exceptions by checking if CPU
actually has caches (we check separately data and instruction cache
existence) at all.

These are header files used by ARC700 architecture.
Also note that "arch-arc700/hardware.h" is only required for compilation of
"designware_i2c" driver which refers to "asm/arch/hardware.h".
It would be good to fix mentioned driver sometime soon but it will cause
changes in ARM board configs that use "designware_i2c".
