[ARM] 3439/2: xsc3: add I/O coherency support

Browse Source 
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.
