[PATCH] Fix coherency problems on ARM v5 with L2 PIPT cache.

This patch fixes coherency problems on ARM systems that have a
VIVT L1 cache and a PIPT L2 one. The modifications to fault-armv.c
assure that we don't mix cached and uncached mappings of the same
physical memory area after we made a mapping uncached to prevent
problems with L1 aliasing. The modifications to flush.c assure
coherency with read/write because kernel PIO memory access is
always cached.
