ARM: 6381/1: Use lazy cache flushing on ARMv7 SMP systems
ARMv7 processors like Cortex-A9 broadcast the cache maintenance
operations in hardware. This patch allows the
flush_dcache_page/update_mmu_cache pair to work in lazy flushing mode
similar to the UP case.
Note that cache flushing on SMP systems now takes place via the
set_pte_at() call (__sync_icache_dcache) and there is no race with other
CPUs executing code from the new PTE before the cache flushing took
place.
