Update VDU HAL device for new OMAPVideo driver, fix MVA-based cache/TLB maintenance ops aborting on ARMv7, add warning to VDU driver about inconsistent state variables during screen mode changes

Detail:
  hdr/VideoDevice - removed Address2 and Device2 fields as it makes more sense for them to be in the device specific field (which for OMAP3 is a pointer to an OMAP3-specific struct)
  s/VMSAv6 - Modify data abort handler to ignore aborts that are generated by MVA-based cache/TLB maintenance ops. Unlike earlier ARM architectures, MVA-based ops can abort under ARMv7 if the page has no mapping to a physical address.
  s/vdu/vdudriver - Add a warning about VDU driver state variables (particularly CursorAddr) being left in invalid states during the execution of mode changes. This can cause problems if any attempt is made to output to the screen during the mode change (e.g. as a result of an abort)
Admin:
  Tested on rev C2 beagleboard. Video device changes mean that OMAP3 HAL 0.23 will be needed for ROM compilation to succeed.


Version 5.35, 4.79.2.98.2.24. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_98_2_24'

Detail:
 * Stopped calling the broken abort fixup code when running under VMSAv6.
   Might be desirable to update it, possibly farmed out to a separate module -
   still need to think about this.
 * Unaligned load optimisations can now be disabled by the global NoUnaligned
   flag for testing purposes.
 * Extended OS_ReadUnsigned to permit reading of 64-bit unsigned integers.
   See Docs.ReadUnsigned for more details. Also sped it up by using MLA
   (or UMLAL) for most digits rather than repeated addition.
 * Bugfix is OS_GSRead: an uninitialised r0 was being passed to
   OS_ReadUnsigned, causing undesirable effects on rare occasions.

  Tested on a rev B7 beagleboard.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.98.2.8. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_98_2_8'

Detail:
  s/ARM600 - fix to SyncCodeAreasRange to correctly read cache line length for WB_CR7_Lx caches
  s/ARMops - Cortex cache handling fixes. Enable L2 cache for Cortex.
  s/ChangeDyn - VMSAv6 support in AllocateBackingLevel2
  s/HAL - Improve RISCOS_InitARM to set/clear correct CP15 flags for ARMv6/v7. VMSAv6 support in code to generate initial page tables.
  s/NewReset - Extra DebugTX calls during OS startup. Disable pre-HAL Processor_Type for HAL builds.
  s/VMSAv6 - Main VMSAv6 MMU code - stripped down version of s/ARM600 with support for basic VMSAv6 features.
  hdr/Options - Use VMSAv6 MMU code, not ARM600. Disable ARM6support since current VMSAv6 code will conflict with it.
Admin:
  Tested basic OS functionality under qemu-omap3 and revision B6 beagleboard.
