ARCv2: Support IO Coherency and permutations involving L1 and L2 caches
In case of ARCv2 CPU there're could be following configurations
that affect cache handling for data exchanged with peripherals
via DMA:
[1] Only L1 cache exists
[2] Both L1 and L2 exist, but no IO coherency unit
[3] L1, L2 caches and IO coherency unit exist
Current implementation takes care of [1] and [2].
Moreover support of [2] is implemented with run-time check
for SLC existence which is not super optimal.
This patch introduces support of [3] and rework of DMA ops
usage. Instead of doing run-time check every time a particular
DMA op is executed we'll have 3 different implementations of
DMA ops and select appropriate one during init.
As for IOC support for it we need:
[a] Implement empty DMA ops because IOC takes care of cache
coherency with DMAed data
[b] Route dma_alloc_coherent() via dma_alloc_noncoherent()
This is required to make IOC work in first place and also
serves as optimization as LD/ST to coherent buffers can be
srviced from caches w/o going all the way to memory
