6c44741d75 powerpc/lib: Implement UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE API
Implement the architecture specific portitions of the UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE
API. This provides functions for the copy_user_flushcache iterator that
ensure that when the copy is finished the destination buffer contains
a copy of the original and that the destination buffer is clean in the
processor caches.

32ce3862af powerpc/lib: Implement PMEM API
Implement the architecture specific cache maintence functions that make
up the "PMEM API". Currently the writeback and invalidate functions
are the same since the function of the DCBST (data cache block store)
instruction is typically interpreted as "writeback to the point of
coherency" rather than to memory. As a result implementing the API
requires a full cache flush rather than just a cache write back. This
will probably change in the not-too-distant future.
