This patch adds the workaround of errata 766421 that adds 'dmb' when changing
the translation regime after conditions that the errata 766421 may occur.
Concretely, Add 'dmb' when changing ASID and secure state for cortex-A15 r0p4.

+	  This option enables the workaround for the erratum 766421 affecting
+	  Cortex-A15 erratum (r0p4).
+	  In certain situations, a strongly ordered or device load instruction,
+	  or a non-cacheable normal memory load-exclusive instruction could
+	  match multiple fill buffers and return incorrect data.
+	  This workaround is add DMB instruction when making any change to the
+	  translation regime and before doing any new loads/stores/preloads
+	  in the new translation regime.
