[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/3] ARM: implement some Cortex-A9 errata workarounds

From: Stephen Warren <swarren at nvidia.com>

Various errata exist in the Cortex-A9 CPU, and may be worked around by
setting some bits in a CP15 diagnostic register. Add code to implement
the workarounds, enabled by new CONFIG_ options.

This code was taken from the Linux kernel, v3.8, arch/arm/mm/proc-v7.S,
and modified to remove the logic to conditionally apply the WAR (since we
know exactly which CPU we're running on given the U-Boot configuration),
and use r0 instead of r10 for consistency with the rest of U-Boot's
cpu_init_cp15().
