[PATCH v2 1/4] ARM: new cache maintenance api for iommu mem flush

[Ramesh Gupta G]

non-coherent IOMMUs need to make sure that the
data held in the caches need to be visible for the
MMU hardware. A new L1 cache maintenance api has been
created to handle this. Thanks to RMK's suggestions on
creating a dedicated API for this purpose.
