Chris Metcalf dbb434214e arch/tile: disable GX prefetcher during cache flush
Otherwise, it's possible to end up with the prefetcher pulling
data into cache that the code believes has been flushed.

Chris Metcalf 63b7ca6b04 arch/tile: enhance existing finv_buffer_remote() routine
It now takes an additional argument so it can be used to
flush-and-invalidate pages that are cached using hash-for-home
as well those that are cached with coherence point on a single cpu.

This allows it to be used more widely for changing the coherence
point of arbitrary pages when necessary.

Chris Metcalf c78095bd8c arch/tile: Split the icache flush code off to a generic <arch> header.
This code is used in other places in our system than in Linux, so
to share it we now implement it as an inline function in our low-level
<arch> headers, and instantiate it in one file in Linux's arch/tile/lib.
The file is now cacheflush.c and is C code rather than the strangely-named
and assembler-implemented __invalidate_icache.S.
