James Hogan facaaec1a7 MIPS: KVM: Use local_flush_icache_range to fix RI on XBurst
MIPS KVM uses mips32_SyncICache to synchronise the icache with the
dcache after dynamically modifying guest instructions or writing guest
exception vector. However this uses rdhwr to get the SYNCI step, which
causes a reserved instruction exception on Ingenic XBurst cores.

It would seem to make more sense to use local_flush_icache_range()
instead which does the same thing but is more portable.

Sanjay Lal 50c8308538 KVM/MIPS32: Binary patching of select privileged instructions.
Currently, the following instructions are translated:
- CACHE (indexed)
- CACHE (va based): translated to a SYNCI, overkill on D-CACHE operations,
  but still much faster than a trap.
- mfc0/mtc0: the virtual COP0 registers for the guest are implemented as
  2-D array.
  [COP#][SEL] and this is mapped into the guest kernel address space @ VA 0x0.
  mfc0/mtc0 operations are transformed to load/stores.
