[XTENSA] Add support for cache-aliasing
Add support for processors that have cache-aliasing issues, such as the Stretch S5000 processor. Cache-aliasing means that the size of the cache (for one way) is larger than the page size, thus, a page can end up in several places in cache depending on the virtual to physical translation. The method used here is to map a user page temporarily through the auto-refill way 0 and of of the DTLB. We probably will want to revisit this issue and use a better approach with kmap/kunmap.

+ * Cache aliasing:
+ *
+ * If the cache size for one way is greater than the page size, we have to
+ * deal with cache aliasing. The cache index is wider than the page size:
+ *
+ * | |cache| cache index
+ * | pfn |off| virtual address
+ * |xxxx:X|zzz|
+ * | : | |
+ * | \ / | |
+ * |trans.| |
+ * | / \ | |
+ * |yyyy:Y|zzz| physical address
+ *
+ * When the page number is translated to the physical page address, the lowest
+ * bit(s) (X) that are part of the cache index are also translated (Y).
+ * If this translation changes bit(s) (X), the cache index is also afected,
+ * thus resulting in a different cache line than before.
+ * The kernel does not provide a mechanism to ensure that the page color
+ * (represented by this bit) remains the same when allocated or when pages
+ * are remapped. When user pages are mapped into kernel space, the color of
+ * the page might also change.
+ *
+ * We use the address space VMALLOC_END ... VMALLOC_END + DCACHE_WAY_SIZE * 2
+ * to temporarily map a patch so we can match the color.
