SPEAr: Enable dcache for fast file transfer

Enable data cache with 1:1 mapping of DDR to enable fast file
transfer over tty which was doing lot of copy.

This feature is enabled only for flashing operation i.e. when
CONFIG_SPEAR_USBTTY is enabled.

This has been tested on SPEAr320, SPEAr600 and SPEAr900 evaluation
boards.

Following figures show an estimate on the performance improvements. The
test setup was a Linux host (not Windows) and involved measurement of
only binary transfer time, through kermit. The flash erase and flash
copy time would be unaffected by these patches.

Another thing is this that the timings remained more or less same across
ARM9 and Cortex based devices, hence reporting only one of the cases.
