[RFC PATCH 07/17] ARM: kernel: save/restore v7 assembly helpers

This patch provides v7 assembly functions to disable-clean-invalidate
D$ and programme the SCU CPU power status register.

The function to disable/clean/invalidate D$ is just a shim that
clears the C bit and jump to the respective function defined in proc
info.

SCU CPU power mode is there to programme the register from an MMU off
path where the C environment is not up and running.

Using scu_power_mode(...) is not possible, or at least hairy,
since it relies on the smp_processor_id() (so the kernel stack) to be up
and running, and it might not access any static data (since gcc inserts
virtual addresses constants into the code, making it impossible to call
when MMU is off and virtual translation is still not up and running).
