ARM decompressor code setups entire 4GB address space pages.
Out of the 4GB, about 256MB are setup with normal memory attributes
for needed DRAM and the rest of the address space as Strongly ordered.
But since all the sections are mapped in DOMAIN0(Manager), processor
like Cortex-A15, can speculatively prefetch from non-DRAM read sensitive
areas even in the presence of XN(Non-executable). This is because XN
attribute is ignored when domain is Manager.
This can lead to accesses to non-accessible address regions leading
to various interconnect violations. The issue is observed on OMAP5.
This patch tries to fix the issue by ensuring that non-DRAM region
is marked as a client domain so that XN attribute is effective.
A better alternative is to not map un-used regions but since the
decompressor code is generic, there might be many exceptions
for the devices used like debug console etc.
