    Improve support for VMSAv6 cache policies & memory types. Expose raw ARMops via OS_MMUControl & cache information via OS_PlatformFeatures.
    
    Detail:
      Docs/HAL/ARMop_API - Document two new ARMops: Cache_Examine and IMB_List
      hdr/KernelWS - Shuffle workspace round a bit to allow space for the two new ARMops. IOSystemType now deleted (has been deprecated and fixed at 0 for some time)
      s/ARM600 - Cosmetic changes to BangCam to make it clearer what's going on. Add OS_MMUControl 2 (get ARMop) implementation.
      s/ARMops - Switch out different ARMop implementations and XCB tables depending on MMU model - helps reduce assembler warnings and make it clearer what code paths are and aren't possible. Add implementations of the two new ARMops. Simplify ARM_Analyse_Fancy by removing some tests which we know will have certain results. Use CCSIDR constants in ARMv7 ARMops instead of magic numbers. Update XCB table comments, and add a new table for VMSAv6
      s/ChangeDyn - Define constant for the new NCB 'idempotent' cache policy (VMSAv6 normal, non-cacheable memory)
      s/HAL - Use CCSIDR constants instead of magic numbers. Extend RISCOS_MapInIO to allow the TEX bits to be specified.
      s/Kernel - OS_PlatformFeatures 33 (read cache information) implementation (actually, just calls through to an ARMop)
      s/MemInfo - Modify VMSAv6 OS_Memory 0 cache/uncache implementation to use the XCB table instead of modifying L2_C directly. This allows the cacheability to be changed without affecting the memory type - important for e.g. unaligned accesses to work correctly. Implement cache policy support for OS_Memory 13.
      s/Middle - Remove IOSystemType from OS_ReadSysInfo 6.
      s/VMSAv6 - Make sure BangCam uses the XCB table for working out the attributes of temp-uncacheable pages instead of manipulating L2_C directly. Add OS_MMUControl 2 implementation.
      s/AMBControl/memmap - Update VMSAv6 page table pokeing to use XCB table
      s/PMF/osinit - Remove IOSystemType reference, and switch out some pre-HAL code that was trying to use IOSystemType.
    Admin:
      Tested on Iyonix, ARM11, Cortex-A7, -A8, -A9, -A15
      Note that contrary to the comments in the source the default NCB policy currently maps to VMSAv6 Device memory type (as per previous kernel versions). This is just a temporary measure, and it will be switched over to Normal, non-cacheable once appropriate memory barriers have been added to the affected IO code.
