This patch should allow a CPU to register it's own cache ops. This shall allow multiple CPUs with different cache handlings to be supported.
I don't really like the idea of a system of dynamic cache ops right now, because as discussed by Mike, we're far from a one-size-fits-all multiple-SoC binary, and in the current context of a single-SoC binary, this patch is overkill for cache management IMO.
OTOH, I am not against rationalizing the cache code, along the lines already discussed, i.e. factorizing cache code as much as possible (just as we should factorize start.S code for instance).
Amicalement,
