The cacheflush syscall can fail for two reasons:
(1) The arguments are invalid (nonsensical address range or no VMA)
(2) The region generates a translation fault on a VIPT or PIPT cache
This patch allows do_cache_op to return an error code to userspace in
the case of the above. The various coherent_user_range implementations
are modified to return 0 in the case of VIVT caches or -EFAULT in the
case of an abort on v6/v7 cores.

Commit 81d11955bf ("ARM: 6405/1: Handle __flush_icache_all for
CONFIG_SMP_ON_UP") added a new function to struct cpu_cache_fns:
flush_icache_all(). It also implemented this for v6 and v7 but not
for v5 and backwards. Without the function pointer in place, we
will be calling wrong cache functions.
For example with ep93xx we get following:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ee070f38
pgd = c0004000

__dma_alloc() calls (inlined) __dma_alloc_buffer() which ends up
calling dmac_flush_range(). Now since the entries in the
arm920_cache_fns are shifted by one, we jump into address 0xee070f38
which is actually next instruction after the arm920_cache_fns
structure.
So implement flush_icache_all() for the rest of the supported CPUs
using a generic 'invalidate I cache' instruction.

We had two implementations for flushing the cache, which meant StrongARM
caches weren't being correctly flushed. Fix this by always using the
v4wb_flush_kern_cache_all method, rather than duplicating it.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
