The standard I-cache Invalidate All (ICIALLU) and Branch Predication
Invalidate All (BPIALL) operations are not automatically broadcast to
the other CPUs in an ARMv7 MP system. The patch adds the Inner Shareable
variants, ICIALLUIS and BPIALLIS, if ARMv7 and SMP.

ARMv7 SMP hardware can handle the TLB maintenance operations
broadcasting in hardware so that the software can avoid the costly IPIs.
This patch adds the necessary checks (the MMFR3 CPUID register) to avoid
the broadcasting if already supported by the hardware.
(this patch is based on the work done by Tony Thompson @ ARM)

arm is placing some code in the .text.init section, but it does not
reference that section in its linker scripts.
This change moves this code from the .text.init section to the
.init.text section, which is presumably where it belongs.

This declaration specifies the "function" type and size for various
assembly functions, mainly needed for generating the correct branch
instructions in Thumb-2.

We are currently using the ARMv6 operations but need to duplicate some
of the code because of the introduction of the new CPU barrier
instructions in ARMv7.
