[PATCH 01/10] OMAP3 SRAM: mark OCM RAM as Non-cacheable Normal memory

[Paul Walmsley <paul@pwsan.com>]

Mark the SRAM (aka OCM RAM) as Non-cacheable Normal memory[1].  This
is to prevent the ARM from evicting existing cache lines to SDRAM
while code is executing from the SRAM.  Necessary since one of the
primary uses for the SRAM is to hold the code and data for the CORE
DPLL M2 divider reprogramming code, which must execute while the SDRC
is idled.  If the ARM attempts to write cache lines back to the while
the SRAM code is running, the ARM will stall[2].

TI deals with this problem in the CDP kernel by marking the SRAM as
Strongly-ordered memory.

Tero Kristo <tero.kristo@nokia.com> caught a bug in an earlier version of
this patch - thanks Tero.
