[ARM] 4497/1: Only allow safe cache configurations on ARMv6 and later
Currently, Linux doesn't generate correct page tables for ARMv6 and later cores if the cache policy is different from the default one (it may lead to strongly ordered or shared device mappings). This patch disallows cache policies other than writeback and the CPU_[ID]CACHE_DISABLE options only affect the CP15 system control register rather than the page tables.
