[RFC PATCH 05/12] arm: mm: retry on QSD icache parity errors

From: Steve Muckle <smuckle at quicinc.com>

Parity errors in the icache on QSD can be worked around either by
retrying the access, or invalidating the icache. The whole icache
must be invalidated since the data abort is imprecise (the faulting
address is not known).
