Here's a follow-up patch to do that. There's a few other things which
could do with updating now that we have CPU_Vx* straightened out. I've
also recently noticed that the v6 and v7 cache stuff doesn't use the
direct-call optimization (see commented out bits in cacheflush.h).
That was because my original V6 support used the block cache operations,
which had to be run-time tested for presence, and so modified the
global cpu_cache methods directly. As the block cache stuff was dropped,
we should re-enable this optimization.
That said, I'd rather not add too much to this series as I think it needs
to go into mainline ASAP - and probably stable as well, even though it's
on the large side - once properly and fully tested.

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: v6k: DMA_CACHE_RWFO isn't appropriate for non-v6k CPUs
Limit DMA_CACHE_RWFO to only v6k SMP CPUs - V6 CPUs aren't SMP capable,
so the read/write for ownership work-around doesn't apply to them.
