the current implementation is wrong

there is NO NEED to have a omap3 specific full cache code
as the generic armv7 full cache work fine on omap3

that's why rename it or move it make no sense
as we can use the same full cache code on cortex a8

the only part that could be soc specific will the l2 flush code

that's why I NACK this as it does not fix anything and just will end with
duplicated code

and yes I do want to have armv7 name in the armv cache function

I known you will tell but the other does not
I agree the other arm flush code need to be clean and it's plan anyway
as I need it to add the mmu and d-cache support
which will be done later

It's plan as I'm working currentlty on the mmu and d-cache support for arm
and the current arm implementation will be udpated really soon to allow
this and after I'll take a look in the relocation scheme on arm
