e4f88d833b arm64: Implement support for read-mostly sections
As putting data which is read mostly together, we can avoid
unnecessary cache line bouncing.

Other architectures, such as ARM and x86, adopted the same idea.

a41dc0e841 arm64: Implement cache_line_size() based on CTR_EL0.CWG
The hardware provides the maximum cache line size in the system via the
CTR_EL0.CWG bits. This patch implements the cache_line_size() function
to read such information, together with a sanity check if the statically
defined L1_CACHE_BYTES is smaller than the hardware value.

f1a0c4aa09 arm64: Cache maintenance routines
The patch adds functionality required for cache maintenance. The AArch64
architecture mandates non-aliasing VIPT or PIPT D-cache and VIPT (may
have aliases) or ASID-tagged VIVT I-cache. Cache maintenance operations
are automatically broadcast in hardware between CPUs.
