[PATCH v2 25/29] ARM: decompressor: explicitly map decompressor binary cacheable

When randomizing the kernel load address, there may be a large
distance in memory between the decompressor binary and its payload
and the destination area in memory. Ensure that the decompressor
itself is mapped cacheable in this case, by tweaking the existing
routine that takes care of this for XIP decompressors.

- * If ever we are running from Flash, then we surely want the cache
- * to be enabled also for our execution instance... We map 2MB of it
- * so there is no map overlap problem for up to 1 MB compressed kernel.
- * If the execution is in RAM then we would only be duplicating the above.
+ * Make sure our entire executable image (including payload) is mapped
+ * cacheable, in case it is located outside the region we covered above.
+ * (This may be the case if running from flash or with randomization enabled)
+ * If the regions happen to overlap, we just duplicate some of the above.
