The effect of cache sync operation is to drain the store buffer and
wait for all internal buffers to be empty. In normal conditions, store
buffer is able to merge the normal memory writes within its 32-byte
data buffers. Due to this erratum present in r3p0, the effect of cache
sync operation on the store buffer still remains when the operation
completes. This means that the store buffer is always asked to drain
and this prevents it from merging any further writes.
This can severely affect performance on the write traffic esp. on
Normal memory NC one.
The proposed workaround is to replace the normal offset of cache sync
operation(0x730) by another offset targeting an unmapped PL310
register 0x740.

This patch adds the PL310 Auxiliary Control Register bitfields
so that SOC's can use these bit fields to construct the AUXCTRL
value to be passed/programmed instead of hardcoding it.

The L310 cache controller's interface is almost identical
to the L210. One major difference is that the PL310 can
have up to 16 ways.
This change uses the cache's part ID and the Associativity
bits in the AUX_CTRL register to determine the number of ways.
Also, this version prints out the CACHE_ID and AUX_CTRL registers.
