Basically, cache operations are CP15 commands which are defined for each 
ARM architecture, not for each ISA, so Marek is right about the best 
place for this being in arm926ejs. Actually, I think 
arch/arm/lib/cache.c should only contain the weak defaults (i.e., no 
real cache action) and each architecture should provide overrides to the 
defaults. Currently this is almost the case, with (apart from arm926ejs 
which you're already touching) only one arm1136 specific implementation 
to move.

So please move the arm926ejs specific implementations to 
arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/cache.c as suggested by Marek, keeping only the 
weak default in arch/arm/lib/cache.c.

Amicalement,
