ARM: Introduce erratum workaround for 801819

Add workaround for Cortex-A15 ARM erratum 801819 which says in summary
that "A livelock can occur in the L2 cache arbitration that might
prevent a snoop from completing. Under certain conditions this can
cause the system to deadlock. "

Recommended workaround is as follows:
Do both of the following:

1) Do not use the write-back no-allocate memory type.
2) Do not issue write-back cacheable stores at any time when the cache
is disabled (SCTLR.C=0) and the MMU is enabled (SCTLR.M=1). Because it
is implementation defined whether cacheable stores update the cache when
the cache is disabled it is not expected that any portable code will
execute cacheable stores when the cache is disabled.

For implementations of Cortex-A15 configured without the “L2 arbitration
register slice” option (typically one or two core systems), you must
also do the following:

3) Disable write-streaming in each CPU by setting ACTLR[28:25] = 0b1111

So, we provide an option to disable write streaming on OMAP5 and DRA7.
It is a rare condition to occur and may be enabled selectively based
on platform acceptance of risk.

Applies to: A15 revisions r2p0, r2p1, r2p2, r2p3 or r2p4 and REVIDR[3]
is set to 0.

Note: certain unicore SoCs *might* not have REVIDR[3] not set, but
might not meet the condition for the erratum to occur when they donot
have ACP (Accelerator Coherency Port) hooked to ACE (AXI Coherency
Extensions). Such SoCs will need the work around handled in the SoC
specific manner, since there is no ARM generic manner to detect such
configurations.
