ARM: 8076/1: mm: add support for HW coherent systems in PL310 cache

When a PL310 cache is used on a system that provides hardware
coherency, the outer cache sync operation is useless, and can be
skipped. Moreover, on some systems, it is harmful as it causes
deadlocks between the Marvell coherency mechanism, the Marvell PCIe
controller and the Cortex-A9.

To avoid this, this commit introduces a new Device Tree property
'arm,io-coherent' for the L2 cache controller node, valid only for the
PL310 cache. It identifies the usage of the PL310 cache in an I/O
coherent configuration. Internally, it makes the driver disable the
outer cache sync operation.

Note that technically speaking, a fully coherent system wouldn't
require any of the other .outer_cache operations. However, in
practice, when booting secondary CPUs, these are not yet coherent, and
therefore a set of cache maintenance operations are necessary at this
point. This explains why we keep the other .outer_cache operations and
only ->sync is disabled.

While in theory any write to a PL310 register could cause the
deadlock, in practice, disabling ->sync is sufficient to workaround
the deadlock, since the other cache maintenance operations are only
used in very specific situations.

Contrary to previous versions of this patch, this new version does not
simply NULL-ify the ->sync member, because the l2c_init_data
structures are now 'const' and therefore cannot be modified, which is
a good thing. Therefore, this patch introduces a separate
l2c_init_data instance, called of_l2c310_coherent_data.

ARM: sa1100: collie.c: fall back to jedec_probe flash detection

Unfortunately the detection was challenged on the defective unit used for tests:
one of the NOR chips did not respond to the CFI query.
Moreover that bad device needed extra delays on erase-suspend/resume cycles.

Tested personally on 3 different units and with feedback of two other users.

ARM: 8085/1: sa1100: collie: add top boot mtd partition

The CFI mapping is now perfect so we can expose the top block, read only.
There isn't much to read, though, just the sharpsl_params values.

ARM: 8086/1: Set memblock limit for nommu

Commit 1c2f87c (ARM: 8025/1: Get rid of meminfo) changed find_limits
to use memblock_get_current_limit for calculating the max_low pfn.
nommu targets never actually set a limit on memblock though which
means memblock_get_current_limit will just return the default
value. Set the memblock_limit to be the end of DDR to make sure
bounds are calculated correctly.

ARM: 8087/1: ptrace: reload syscall number after secure_computing() check

On the syscall tracing path, we call out to secure_computing() to allow
seccomp to check the syscall number being attempted. As part of this, a
SIGTRAP may be sent to the tracer and the syscall could be re-written by
a subsequent SET_SYSCALL ptrace request. Unfortunately, this new syscall
is ignored by the current code unless TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE is also set on
the current thread.

This patch slightly reworks the enter path of the syscall tracing code
so that we always reload the syscall number from
current_thread_info()->syscall after the potential ptrace traps.

Pull ARM fixes from Russell King:
 "Another round of ARM fixes.  The largest change here is the L2 changes
  to work around problems for the Armada 37x/380 devices, where most of
  the size comes down to comments rather than code.

  The other significant fix here is for the ptrace code, to ensure that
  rewritten syscalls work as intended.  This was pointed out by Kees
  Cook, but Will Deacon reworked the patch to be more elegant.

  The remainder are fairly trivial changes"
