There are actually three parts to this storey:

Thisi s the original patch series, which I applied to a local test
branch with the intention to pull into mainline:

10/04 Anton Staaf        [U-Boot] [PATCH v2 0/7] Add cache line alignment support
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/111026

Then I noticed that this broke all PPC4xx boards, and asked Stefan to
fix this problem.  Stefan did:

10/07 Stefan Roese       [PATCH 1/2] ppc: Include <asm/cache.h> in common.h
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/111482

When PPC was building again, I tested it on ARM (which I assumed was
OK, given that this was Anton's primary architecture).  That was when
I finally gave up, see
