The different ARM architectures need different cache functions. This
patch makes them selectable during runtime.

Save/restore the registers used in __mmu_cache_* so that they can
be called as regular C functions.

Traditionally we call __mmu_cache_flush in early startup. There
is a problem with armv7 and hierarchical caches though, on these
systems __mmu_cache_flush uses the stack. Appearantly this was
seldomly a problem, because most of these systems have a ROM
bootloader which sets up some stack, but on a special i.MX6 system
this failed badly. We should not have to flush caches here. Every
sane system should pass control to the bootloader without stale
entries in the caches *), so it should be a safe assumption that the
cache flush can be removed.
Since __mmu_cache_flush is not called from early code anymore we can
also move it to the regular text section.
Be brave and give it a try.
*) omap3 seems to be a exception to this, but this has a cache flush
in arch_init_lowlevel already

Instead of having seperate cache flush functions in the startup code
we want to call the generic functions. To accomplish this they have
to be in the bare_init section.

These cache functions have been extracted from
arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S. The old code only worked
properly on ARMv4. Tested on ARMv4, ARMv5, ARMv6 hardware.
