The DCache clean & ICache invalidation requirements for instructions
to be data coherence are discoverable through new fields in CTR_EL0.
The following two control bits DIC and IDC were defined for this
purpose. No need to perform point of unification cache maintenance
operations from software on systems where CPU caches are transparent.

This patch optimize the three functions __flush_cache_user_range(),
clean_dcache_area_pou() and invalidate_icache_range() if the hardware
reports CTR_EL0.IDC and/or CTR_EL0.IDC. Basically it skips the two
instructions 'DC CVAU' and 'IC IVAU', and the associated loop logic
in order to avoid the unnecessary overhead.

CTR_EL0.DIC: Instruction cache invalidation requirements for
 instruction to data coherence. The meaning of this bit[29].
  0: Instruction cache invalidation to the point of unification
     is required for instruction to data coherence.
  1: Instruction cache cleaning to the point of unification is
      not required for instruction to data coherence.

CTR_EL0.IDC: Data cache clean requirements for instruction to data
 coherence. The meaning of this bit[28].
  0: Data cache clean to the point of unification is required for
     instruction to data coherence, unless CLIDR_EL1.LoC == 0b000
     or (CLIDR_EL1.LoUIS == 0b000 && CLIDR_EL1.LoUU == 0b000).
  1: Data cache clean to the point of unification is not required
     for instruction to data coherence.

A single Kconfig entry is sufficient for both features.

Nitpick: no need for !! since the function type is bool already.

You can add another label at mov x0, #0 below this hunk and keep a
single instruction in the alternative path.

However, my worry is that in an implementation with DIC set, we also
skip the DSB/ISB sequence in the invalidate_icache_by_line macro. For
example, in an implementation with transparent PoU, we could have:

	str	<some instr>, [addr]
	// no cache maintenance or barrier
	br	<addr>

Is an ISB required between the instruction store and execution? I would
say yes but maybe Will has a better opinion here.

Sure, I'll remove '!!'.

Thanks for pointing out the missing barriers. I think it make sense to follow
the existing barrier semantics in order to avoid the unknown things.

Agree, an ISB is required especially for self-modifying code. I'll include in v3 patch.

I'd have thought you'd need a DSB too, before the ISB.
