ARM: 6380/1: Introduce __sync_icache_dcache() for VIPT caches
On SMP systems, there is a small chance of a PTE becoming visible to a different CPU before the current cache maintenance operations in update_mmu_cache(). To avoid this, cache maintenance must be handled in set_pte_at() (similar to IA-64 and PowerPC). This patch provides a unified VIPT cache handling mechanism and implements the __sync_icache_dcache() function for ARMv6 onwards architectures. It is called from set_pte_at() and replaces the update_mmu_cache(). The latter is still used on VIVT hardware where a vm_area_struct is required.
