It's not good idea to move invalidate_cache to omap directory. we need it.

Now we got two cpu, s5pc100 and s5pc110. In case of s5pc100 we don't
need to turn off l2 cache. but s5pc110 needs it.
So first check the device type, actually cpu type. then determine turn
off l2 cache or not.

maybe not. now we only tested the smdkc100 but actual use is internal
board for s5pc100 & s5pc110.
He will be modify it.
