[PATCH 1/2] ARM: add memory types for the TCMs

The earlier TCM memory regions were mapped as MT_MEMORY_UNCACHED
which doesn't really work on platforms supporting the new v6
features like the NX bit. Add unique MT_MEMORY_[I|D]TCM types
instead.

Need help to get this right, so CC:in Russell and Nicolas on this,
since they usually knows about these things.
The settings here work fine, code executes nicely from ITCM
and data, variables and constants can be stored and retrieved.
I'm especially in the dark about the usage of the L_PTE_* stuff,
and when to use DOMAIN_KERNEL, DOMAIN_USER and DOMAIN_IO. For
example: does DOMAIN_KERNEL imply kernel usage? DOMAIN_KERNEL
for ITCM makes the code non-executable. Does DOMAIN_USER imply
that L_PTE_USER shall also be set?
I tried reading the map.h and ARM manuals already but I don't
find my way out so might as well ask.
