OK dropped that part, updated patch below. Maybe the VFPv3
code can be fixed to boot on earlier hardware too.

So I guess ARM_L1_CACHE_SHIFT should be only used for alignment, and
not for for cache operations?

If so, then what have in arch/arm/plat-omap/iommu.c seems buggy:

static void flush_iopgd_range(u32 *first, u32 *last)
{
	/* FIXME: L2 cache should be taken care of if it exists */
	do {
		asm("mcr	p15, 0, %0, c7, c10, 1 @ flush_pgd"
		    : : "r" (first));
		first += L1_CACHE_BYTES / sizeof(*first);
	} while (first <= last);
}

It seems that this code should use the real cache line size instead to
avoid every other line not to flush if ARM_L1_CACHE_SHIFT is set larger
than it is.

Regards,

Tony
