Add workaround for Cortex-A9 errata 761320 ([present on r0,
r1, r2, r3) and 794072 (present on all revisions). These are
Category B, present on SMP systems.

+	   This option enables the workaround for the 794072 Cortex-A9
+	   (all revisions). A processor which continuously executes a short

+	   broadcast by another processor making further progress, causing
+	   a denial of service. This erratum can be worked around by setting
+	   bit[4] of the undocumented Diagnostic Control Register to 1.

+	  Under very rare circumstances, full cache line writes
+	  from (at least) 2 processors on cache lines in hazard with
+	  other requests may cause arbitration issues in the SCU,
