Jungseok Lee e4f88d833b arm64: Implement support for read-mostly sections
As putting data which is read mostly together, we can avoid
unnecessary cache line bouncing.

Other architectures, such as ARM and x86, adopted the same idea.

Catalin Marinas a41dc0e841 arm64: Implement cache_line_size() based on CTR_EL0.CWG
The hardware provides the maximum cache line size in the system via the
CTR_EL0.CWG bits. This patch implements the cache_line_size() function
to read such information, together with a sanity check if the statically
defined L1_CACHE_BYTES is smaller than the hardware value.

Catalin Marinas f1a0c4aa09 arm64: Cache maintenance routines
The patch adds functionality required for cache maintenance. The AArch64
architecture mandates non-aliasing VIPT or PIPT D-cache and VIPT (may
have aliases) or ASID-tagged VIVT I-cache. Cache maintenance operations
are automatically broadcast in hardware between CPUs.
