Add ARMops for PL310 L2 cache controller
Detail: Unlike on the Cortex-A8 or Cortex-A15, the L2 cache that's used with the Cortex-A9 isn't hooked up to the standard ARMv7 CP15 cache maintenance ops. Instead, memory-mapped registers must be used to program and maintain the cache. Since the PL310 can't be detected automatically, this change adds support for a 'cache controller' HAL device which the HAL can use to advertise the presence of any external caches. If a cache device is registered during HAL_InitDevices the kernel will then check it against a list of known cache types and replace the appropriate ARMop routines with the alternatives for that controller. File changes: - hdr/PL310 - New header containing PL310 register listing - Makefile - Add export for PL310 header. Reorder exports to be alphabetical - hdr/HALDevice - Add cache controller device type, PL310 device - hdr/KernelWS - Allocate some workspace for storing a pointer to the current cache HAL device - s/ARMops - Add code for searching for known cache types, and implementation of PL310-specific ARMops - s/GetAll - Get Hdr:PL310 - s/NewReset - Look for a cache controller after calling HAL_InitDevices Admin: Tested on Pandaboard Fixes various assorted instability issues Version 5.35, 4.79.2.252.
