ARM: 7291/1: cache: assume 64-byte L1 cachelines for ARMv7 CPUs
To ensure correct alignment of cacheline-aligned data, the maximum cacheline size needs to be known at compile time. Since Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A15 have 64-byte cachelines (and it is likely that there will be future ARMv7 implementations with the same line size) then it makes sense to assume that CPU_V7 implies a 64-byte L1 cacheline size. For CPUs with smaller caches, this will result in some harmless padding but will help with single zImage work and avoid hitting subtle bugs with misaligned data structures.
