1a27f7d9c2 ARM: Align stack to 8 bytes
The ARM ABI requires that the stack be aligned to 8 bytes as it is noted
in Procedure Call Standard for the ARM Architecture:
http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.ihi0042d/index.html

Unaligned SP also causes the problem with variable-length arrays
allocation when VLA address becomes less than stack pointer during
aligning of this address, so the next 'push' in the stack overwrites
first 4 bytes of VLA.

409a07c9d7 ARM1136: Fix cache_flush() error and correct cpu_init_crit() comments
The ARM1136 cache_flush() function uses the "mcr p15, 0, rn, c7, c7, 0"
instruction which means "Invalidate Both Caches" when in fact the intent
is to clean and invalidate all caches.  So add an "mcr p15, 0, %0, c7,
c10, 0" instruction to "Clean Entire Data Cache" prior to the "Invalidate
Both Caches" instruction to insure that memory is consistent with any
dirty cache lines.

Also fix a couple of "flush v*" comments in ARM1136 cpu_init_crit() so
that they correctly describe the actual ARM1136 CP15 C7 Cache Operations
used.
