Hi,

Updated series on the ARM mandatory barriers. As per Russell's
suggestion, most platform seem to define the mb() as dsb(); outer_sync()
and it makes sense to make this the default (if CONFIG_OUTER_CACHE_SYNC
is defined). The patch still allows per-platform barriers via the
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_BARRIERS option.


Catalin Marinas (4):
      ARM: Move the outer_cache definitions into a separate file
      ARM: Add outer_cache_fns.sync function pointer
      ARM: Add L2x0 outer_sync() support
      ARM: Change the mandatory barriers implementation
