[PATCH] ARM: new cache maintenance api for iommu mem flush

From: Ramesh Gupta G
Date: Mon May 28 2012 - 10:30:15 EST


non-coherent IOMMUs need to make sure that the
data held in the caches need to be visible for the
MMU hardware. A new L1 cache maintenance api has been
created to handle this. Thanks to RMK's suggestions on
creating a dedicated API for this purpose.
