[RFC] mixture of cleanups to cache-v7.S

Several cleanups are in the patch below... I'll separate them out, but
I'd like to hear comments on them. Basically:
1. cache-v7.S is built for ARMv7 CPUs, so there's no reason not to
use movw and movt when loading large constants, rather than using
"ldr rd,=constant"
2. we can do a much more efficient check for the errata in
v7_flush_dcache_louis than we were doing - rather than putting the
work-around code in the fast path, we can re-organise this such that
we only try to run the workaround code if the LoU field is zero.
3. shift the bitfield we want to extract in the CLIDR to the appropriate
bit position prior to masking; this reduces the complexity of the
code, particularly with the SMP differences in v7_flush_dcache_louis.
4. pre-shift the Cortex A9 MIDR value to be checked, and shift the
actual MIDR to lose the bottom four revision bits.
5. as the v7_flush_dcache_louis code is more optimal, I see no reason not
to enable this workaround by default now - if people really want it to
be disabled, they can still choose that option. This is in addition
to Versatile Express enabling it. Given the memory corrupting abilities
of not having this errata enabled, I think it's only sane that it's
something that should be encouraged to be enabled, even though it only
affects r0pX CPUs.
One obvious issue comes up here though - in the case that the LoU bits
are validly zero, we merely return from v7_flush_dcache_louis with no
DSB or ISB. However v7_flush_dcache_all always has a DSB or ISB at the
end, even if LoC is zero. Is this an intentional difference, or should
v7_flush_dcache_louis always end with a DSB+ISB ?
I haven't tested this patch yet... so no sign-off on it yet.

This option enables the workaround for the 643719 Cortex-A9 (prior to
r1p0) erratum. On affected cores the LoUIS bit field of the CLIDR
