This series is based on the alternatives changes done in my svpbmt
series and thus also depends on Atish's isa-extension parsing series.
It implements using the cache-management instructions from the Zicbom-
extension to handle cache flush, etc actions on platforms needing them.
SoCs using cpu cores from T-Head like the Allwinne D1 implement a
different set of cache instructions. But while they are different,
instructions they provide the same functionality, so a variant can easly
hook into the existing alternatives mechanism on those.
[Palmer: Some minor fixups, including a RISCV_ISA_ZICBOM dependency on
MMU that's probably not strictly necessary. The Zicbom support will
trip up sparse for users that have new toolchains, I just sent a patch.]

* palmer/riscv-zicbom:
riscv: implement cache-management errata for T-Head SoCs
riscv: Add support for non-coherent devices using zicbom extension
dt-bindings: riscv: document cbom-block-size
of: also handle dma-noncoherent in of_dma_is_coherent()
The Zicbom ISA-extension was ratified in november 2021
and introduces instructions for dcache invalidate, clean
and flush operations.
Implement cache management operations for non-coherent devices
based on them.
Of course not all cores will support this, so implement an
alternative-based mechanism that replaces empty instructions
with ones done around Zicbom instructions.
As discussed in previous versions, assume the platform
being coherent by default so that non-coherent devices need
to get marked accordingly by firmware.
