Systems using the MIPS Coherence Manager (CM) cannot support multi-core SMP with dcache aliasing. This is because CPU caches are VIPT, but interventions in CM-based systems provide only the physical address to remote caches. This means that interventions may behave incorrectly in the presence of an aliasing dcache, since the physical address used when handling an intervention may lead to operation on an aliased cache line rather than the correct line. Prevent us from running into this issue by refusing to boot secondary cores in systems where dcache aliasing may occur. Signed-off-by:
