I don't think we need the comment here. We don't have this in the other
cases we look at the ARM64_HAS_CACHE_{IDC,DIC} caps.

This would also be slightly nicer as an early return:

static inline void __flush_icache_all(void)
{
if (cpus_have_const_cap(ARM64_HAS_CACHE_DIC))
return;

asm("ic ialluis");
dsb(ish);
}

... which minimizes indentation, and the diffstat.

The rest looks fine to me, so with the above changes:
