[PATCH v2 1/2] ARM: use cache type functions for arch_get_unmapped_area

From: Rob Herring <rob.herring at calxeda.com>

There are already cache type decoding functions, so use those instead
of custom decode code which only works for ARMv6.

This change also correctly enables cache colour alignment on Cortex-A9
whose I-cache is aliasing VIPT.

v2:
- remove icache_is_vipt_aliasing check

Nico, can you pick up these 2 patches into the Linaro kernel to get some
testing?
