[PATCH 2/2] efi: capsule: clean scatter-gather entries from the D-cache

[Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>]

The UEFI spec 2.9 has recently been updated to include a requirement
that scatter-gather lists passed to UpdateCapsule() should be cleaned
from the D-cache to ensure that they are visible to the CPU after a
warm reboot before it enables the MMU. On ARM and arm64 systems, this
implies a D-cache clean by virtual address to the point of coherency.
