22b1908610 [ARM] nommu: provide a way for correct control register value selection
Most MMU-based CPUs have a restriction on the setting of the data cache
enable and mmu enable bits in the control register, whereby if the data
cache is enabled, the MMU must also be enabled.  Enabling the data
cache without the MMU is an invalid combination.

However, there are CPUs where the data cache can be enabled without the
MMU.

In order to allow these CPUs to take advantage of that, provide a
method whereby each proc-*.S file defines the control regsiter value
for use with nommu (with the MMU disabled.)  Later on, when we add
support for enabling the MMU on these devices, we can adjust the
"crval" macro to also enable the data cache for nommu.

e6ed89ac9f [PATCH] ARM: explicitly disable BTB on ixp2350
We don't enable the BTB on the ixp2350 as that can cause weird
crashes (erratum #42.)  However, some bootloaders enable the BTB,
which means that we have to disable the BTB explicitly.

Found thanks to Tom Rini.

23759dc643 [ARM] 3439/2: xsc3: add I/O coherency support
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

This patch adds support for the I/O coherent cache available on the
xsc3.  The approach is to provide a simple API to determine whether the
chipset supports coherency by calling arch_is_coherent() and then
setting the appropriate system memory PTE and PMD bits.  In addition,
we call this API on dma_alloc_coherent() and dma_map_single() calls.
A generic version exists that will compile out all the coherency-related
code that is not needed on the majority of ARM systems.

Note that we do not check for coherency in the dma_alloc_writecombine()
function as that still requires a special PTE setting.  We also don't
touch dma_mmap_coherent() as that is a special ARM-only API that is by
definition only used on non-coherent system.

Adapt xsc3 to the changes in 74945c8616
(xsc3 was written before but merged after the latter went in.)

23bdf86aa0 [ARM] 3377/2: add support for intel xsc3 core
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

This patch adds support for the new XScale v3 core.  This is an
ARMv5 ISA core with the following additions:

- L2 cache
- I/O coherency support (on select chipsets)
- Low-Locality Reference cache attributes (replaces mini-cache)
- Supersections (v6 compatible)
- 36-bit addressing (v6 compatible)
- Single instruction cache line clean/invalidate
- LRU cache replacement (vs round-robin)

I attempted to merge the XSC3 support into proc-xscale.S, but XSC3
cores have separate errata and have to handle things like L2, so it
is simpler to keep it separate.

L2 cache support is currently a build option because the L2 enable
bit must be set before we enable the MMU and there is no easy way to
capture command line parameters at this point.

There are still optimizations that can be done such as using LLR for
copypage (in theory using the exisiting mini-cache code) but those
can be addressed down the road.
