[U-Boot] [PATCH RFC 2/2] arm cp15: setup mmu and enable dcache

This has been tested on at91sam9263 and STN8815.
Again, I didn't check if it has bad effects
on non-arm926 cores.

Initially I had a "done" bit to only set up page tables
at the beginning. However, since the aligmnent requirement
was for the whole object file, this extra integer tool 16kB
in BSS, so I chose to remove it.

Also, note not all boards use PHYS_SDRAM, but it looks like
it's the most used name (more than CONFIG_SYS_DRAM_BASE for
example).
