ARMv6 and ARMv7 CPUs can perform speculative prefetching, which makes
DMA cache coherency handling slightly more interesting. Rather than
being able to rely upon the CPU not accessing the DMA buffer until DMA
has completed, we now must expect that the cache could be loaded with
possibly stale data from the DMA buffer.
Where DMA involves data being transferred to the device, we clean the
cache before handing it over for DMA, otherwise we invalidate the buffer
to get rid of potential writebacks. On DMA Completion, if data was
transferred from the device, we invalidate the buffer to get rid of
any stale speculative prefetches.

There's no point having the hardware support background operations
if we issue a cache operation, and then wait for it to complete
before calculating the address of the next operation. We gain no
advantage in the cache controller stalling the bus until completion.
What we should be doing is using the 'wait' time productively by
calculating the address of the next operation, and only then waiting
for the previous operation to complete. This means that cache
operations can occur in parallel with the CPU calculating the next
address.

Dirk Behme reported instability on ARM11 SMP (VIPT non-aliasing cache)
caused by the dynamic linker changing protection on text pages to write
GOT entries. The problem is due to an interaction between the write
faulting code providing new anonymous pages which are incoherent with
the I-cache due to write buffering, and the I-cache not having been
invalidated.
a4db94d plugs the hole with the data cache coherency. This patch
provides the other half of the fix by flushing the I-cache in
flush_cache_range() for VM_EXEC VMAs (which is what we have when the
region is being made executable again.) This ensures that the I-cache
will be up to date with the newly COW'd pages.
Note: if users are writing instructions, then they still need to use
the ARM sys_cacheflush API to ensure that the caches are correctly
synchronized.

flush_cache_mm() is called in two cases:
1. when a process exits, just before the page tables are torn down.
We can allow the stale lines to evict themselves over time without
causing any harm.
2. when a process forks, and we've allocated a new ASID.
The instruction cache issues are dealt with as pages are brought
into the new process address space. Flushing the I-cache here is
therefore unnecessary.
However, we must keep the VIPT aliasing D-cache flush to ensure that
any dirty cache lines are not written back after the pages have been
reallocated for some other use - which would result in corruption.

On ARMv7, it is invalid to map the same physical address multiple times
with different memory types. Since system RAM is already mapped as
'memory', subsequent remapping of it must retain this attribute.
However, DMA memory maps it as "strongly ordered". Fix this by introducing
'pgprot_dmacoherent()' which provides the necessary page table bits for
DMA mappings.

IXP23xx added support for dma_alloc_coherent() for DMA arches with an
exception in dma_alloc_coherent(). This is a subset of what goes on
in __dma_alloc(), and there is no reason why dma_alloc_writecombine()
should not be given the same treatment (except, maybe, that IXP23xx
doesn't use it.)
We can better deal with this by moving the arch_is_coherent() test
inside __dma_alloc() and killing the code duplication.

The coherent MMU and noMMU versions are actually functionally identical.
The incoherent MMU version is almost the same, but with the additional
step of unmapping the secondary mapping.

Mapping the same memory using two different attributes (memory
type, shareability, cacheability) is unpredictable. During boot,
we encounter a situation when we're updating the kernel's page
tables which can lead to dirty cache lines existing in the cache
which are subsequently missed. This causes stack corruption,
and therefore a crash.
Therefore, ensure that the shared and cacheability settings
matches the configuration that will be used later; this together
with the restriction in early_cachepolicy() ensures that we won't
create a mismatch during boot.
