These patches add support for enable/disable d cache support. It reduces
time for sha verification from more than 2 min to 3-4 sec on my
platform. 
There are some of the observation which I am unable to explain.
* It takes around 18 sec when I boot a kexec kernel and around 3-4 sec
* when I boot a crash kernel. In case of kexec kernel start of 1st
* segment is at 0000004000280000 and, end of last segment is at
* 00000040029c0000. In case of crash kernel start of 1st segment is at
* 00000041b9080000 and, end of last segment is at 00000041f9000000.
