Another plan. Since remap_cache currently does not work and
I'm not confident enough to apply the fixups so close before
a release we can equally well disable the feature for now.

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: Disable MMU feature in PBL

remap_cache currently does not work, so enabling the MMU in the
PBL currently does not make sense. Disable it for now.
