c2dd0d4554 added dcache_enable()
to board_init_r(). This enables d-cache for all ARM boards.
As a result some of the arm boards that are not cache-ready
are broken. Revert this change and allow platform code to
take the decision on d-cache enabling.
Also add some documentation for cache usage in ARM.

1. make sure that page table setup is not done multiple times
2. flush_dcache_all() is more appropriate while disabling cache
than a range flush on the entire memory(flush_cache())
Provide a default implementation for flush_dcache_all()
for backward compatibility and to avoid build issues.

- Enable I-cache on bootup
- Enable MMU and D-cache immediately after relocation
- Do necessary initialization before enabling d-cache and MMU
- Changes to cleanup_before_linux()
- Make changes according to the new framework

Commit c3d3a54 uses CONFIG_ARMV7 to determine whether to call the
v7_flush_cache_all function. This breaks the build for all non-OMAP3
boards (like Panda and OMAP4430SDP) since there is only a v7_flush_cache_all
implementation for OMAP3.
This patch uses CONFIG_OMAP3XXX instead of CONFIG_ARMV7 so that only boards
with a v7_flush_cache_all will make the call.
Tested on Beagle, Overo, Panda, and OMAP4430SDP

Add data cache support for arm1136 systems.
Enable "cache" command on Qong board and test performance.
Test 1: Loading 127 MB of data from NAND flash into RAM:
Instr. Cache off on on
Data Cache off off on
--------------------------------------------------
QONG (ARM11) 177s 95s 43s = x 4.1
Test 2: uncompressing a gzipped image from RAM to RAM
(size compressed: 6.5 MiB, uncompressed: 35 MiB):
Instr. Cache off on on
Data Cache off off on
--------------------------------------------------
QONG (ARM11) 1.54s 0.95s 0.18s = x 8.6
