    [POWERPC] Merge CPU features pertaining to icache coherency · 4508dc21
    David Gibson authored
    Currently the powerpc kernel has a 64-bit only feature,
    COHERENT_ICACHE used for those CPUS which maintain icache/dcache
    coherency in hardware (POWER5, essentially).  It also has a feature,
    SPLIT_ID_CACHE, which is used on CPUs which have separate i and
    d-caches, which is to say everything except 601 and Freescale E200.
    
    In nearly all the places we check the SPLIT_ID_CACHE, what we actually
    care about is whether the i and d-caches are coherent (which they will
    be, trivially, if they're the same cache).
    
    This tries to clarify the situation a little.  The COHERENT_ICACHE
    feature becomes availble on 32-bit and is set for all CPUs where i and
    d-cache are effectively coherent, whether this is due to special logic
    (POWER5) or because they're unified.  We check this, instead of
    SPLIT_ID_CACHE nearly everywhere.
    
    The SPLIT_ID_CACHE feature itself is replaced by a UNIFIED_ID_CACHE
    feature with reversed sense, set only on 601 and Freescale E200.  In
    the two places (one Freescale BookE specific) where we really care
    whether it's a unified cache, not whether they're coherent, we check
    this feature.  The CPUs with unified cache are so few, we could
    consider replacing this feature bit with explicit checks against the
    PVR.
    
    This will make unifying the 32-bit and 64-bit cache flush code a
    little more straightforward.
