In systems with three levels of cache(PoU at L1 and PoC at L3),
PoC cache flush instructions flushes L2 and L3 caches which could affect
performance.
For cache flushes for I and D coherency, PoU should suffice.
So changing all I and D coherency related cache flushes to PoU.

Introduced a new __clean_dcache_area_pou API for dcache flush till PoU
and provided a common macro for __flush_dcache_area and
__clean_dcache_area_pou.

You changed the original code path slightly here. We had a
__flush_icache_all() even for non-aliasing VIPT but it now does the
I-cache invalidation per page. It may be an improvement, I can't tell
without benchmarks but you should at least mention this in the commit
log so that we remember in the future. Apart from this:

Minor comment, but can you stick this in proc-macros.S and change that
label from 1: to something like 9998 please?

Other than that, looks good. I can take the next version for 4.5.

Cheers,
