Changes since v3:

1) Reworded the first commit comment to note that the need to clear
   cache is implementation-dependent.
2) CTR_EL0.DIC is now cleared in user mode to indicate that IC IVAU
   must be used.
3) The test case now only uses DC CVAU / IC IVAU when this is
   required, as indicated by CTR_EL0.{DIC,IDC}. There have been no
   changes outside of the function `mark_code_modified`

----

When running in user-mode QEMU currently fails to emulate JITs that
use dual-mapped code to get around W^X restrictions, where one mapping
is writable and one is executable. As it has no way of knowing that a
write to the writable region is reflected in the executable one, it
fails to invalidate previously translated code which leads to a crash
at best.

(Note that system mode is unaffected as the softmmu is fully aware of
what is going on.)

This patch series catches changes to dual-mapped code by honoring the
cache management instructions required to make things work on actual
hardware.
