I don't really like the idea of a system of dynamic cache ops right now, 
because as discussed by Mike, we're far from a one-size-fits-all 
multiple-SoC binary, and in the current context of a single-SoC binary, 
this patch is overkill for cache management IMO.

OTOH, I am not against rationalizing the cache code, along the lines 
already discussed, i.e. factorizing cache code as much as possible (just 
as we should factorize start.S code for instance).

Amicalement,
