For padded cache array, the unreadable & unwritable function is correct
as Takashi indicated accessing the odd number of register index is invalid with
step = 2.
But for packed cache array...

There's a few confuse on the using of reg_cache_size and reg_cache_step
in current kernel. 
(like some drivers use packed cache while some use padded)

Maybe we need to first unify it.
