For this patch... it's a big NAK because it's taking us right back down
the route of a totally fucked up cache-l2x0.c driver.

Why can't you people write stuff properly?  There's already another set
of patches on this mailing list which want to pass the virtual base
address of the l2x0 controller to l2c_write_sec() so that various
registers can be read back, because the platform's secure API can
only update several registers at the same time.

This is the same pattern that is revealed in this patch.  So, what
this means is that the l2c_write_sec API is wrong.  We need to come
up with a *replacement* API which allows the platforms to do this
kind of setup in a *clean* way, and stop creating rotten hacks like
this which just makes long term maintanence a nightmare.

So... please start doing stuff properly.  If you don't, you're going
to be getting more flames from me, especially if you start doing this
kind of hackery on code that I've been cleaning up to get rid of such
crap.
