The T-Head C906 and C910 implement a scheme for handling
cache operations different from the generic Zicbom extension.

Add an errata for it next to the generic dma coherency ops.

I'm not sure what to do with these: I really don't want to have a bunch of raw binary instruction encodings floating around, but it looks like the T-Head folks want to re-write their ISA manual before merging the GAS support for it which means we'd be stuck going another release cycle (and presumably another year of LTS) before getting the hardware supported. It really seems like we're just going in circles here trying to get everything lined up, and it's getting silly blocking real hardware from working because of a little bit of ugliness.

I know I said I really don't want the executable .long stuff for this, and IIRC that's a pretty common sentiment. I'm not sure if I'm just fed up with all the craziness, but I'm kind of inclined to just merge this as-is -- at least that way we can get the hardware working. In the long run I think we're going to end up with some much uglier errata, so I doubt we'll be all that worried about this one later.

That said, I'll give folks some time to chime in as IIRC this has been pointed out a handful of times.
