[ARM] 5490/1: ARM errata: Processor deadlock when a false hazard is created 

This patch adds a workaround for the 458693 Cortex-A8 (r2p0)
erratum. It sets the corresponding bits in the auxiliary control
register so that the PLD instruction becomes a NOP.

help
This option enables the workaround for the 458693 Cortex-A8 (r2p0)
erratum. For very specific sequences of memory operations, it is
possible for a hazard condition intended for a cache line to instead
be incorrectly associated with a different cache line. This false
hazard might then cause a processor deadlock. The workaround enables
the L1 caching of the NEON accesses and disables the PLD instruction
in the ACTLR register. Note that setting specific bits in the ACTLR
register may not be available in non-secure mode.
