[PATCH] arm: mach-imx: Fix speculative instruction prefetch issue

Default ARM32 MMU setting in u-boot sets XN bit to entire 4GB space no
matter which DCACHE option is used, and set domain permission to manager.
This causes MMU ignores the access check and XN bit, so speculative
instruction can fetch from entire space.

This patch sets the DDR, ROM, OCRAM without XN bit, and set domain to client
to enable the XN and access check. So speculative instruction fetch can only
happens on these 3 regions to avoid prefetch from peripherals and invalid
regions.
