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

the defaults discussed just above.
