Despite the comments on the 1st patch, this one would still be needed as
it cannot be done before the kernel runs.

However, if you have 754322 and 766421 enabled, we would have dsb and
dmb. We do something like this instead:

#if defined(CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_754322) || defined(CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_766421)
  	dsb
#endif
