Catalin Marinas b5b6c9e914 arm64: Avoid cache flushing in flush_dcache_page()
The flush_dcache_page() function is called when the kernel modified a
page cache page. Since the D-cache on AArch64 does not have aliases
this function can simply mark the page as dirty for later flushing via
set_pte_at()/__sync_icache_dcache() if the page is executable (to ensure
the I-D cache coherency).

Catalin Marinas f1a0c4aa09 arm64: Cache maintenance routines
The patch adds functionality required for cache maintenance. The AArch64
architecture mandates non-aliasing VIPT or PIPT D-cache and VIPT (may
have aliases) or ASID-tagged VIVT I-cache. Cache maintenance operations
are automatically broadcast in hardware between CPUs.
