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.
