ARM: 6111/1: Implement read/write for ownership in the ARMv6 DMA cache ops
The Snoop Control Unit on the ARM11MPCore hardware does not detect the
cache operations and the dma_cache_maint*() functions may leave stale
cache entries on other CPUs. The solution implemented in this patch
performs a Read or Write For Ownership in the ARMv6 DMA cache
maintenance functions. These LDR/STR instructions change the cache line
state to shared or exclusive so that the cache maintenance operation has
the desired effect.
