The Cache Type Register L1Ip field identifies I-caches with a PIPT
policy using the encoding 11b.
This patch extends the cache policy parsing to identify PIPT I-caches
correctly and prevent them from being treated as VIPT aliasing in cases
where they are sufficiently large.

Currently, the Kernel assumes that if a CPU has a non-aliasing D-cache
then the I-cache is also non-aliasing. This may not be true on ARM cores
from v6 onwards, which may have aliasing I-caches but non-aliasing
D-caches.
This patch adds a cpu_has_aliasing_icache function, which is called from
cacheid_init and adds CACHEID_VIPT_I_ALIASING to the cacheid when
appropriate. A utility macro, icache_is_vipt_aliasing(), is also
provided.

Rather than trying to (inaccurately) decode the cache type from the
registers each time we need to decide what type of cache we have,
use a bitmask initialized early during boot.
Since the setup is a one-off initialization, we can be a little more
clever and take account of the CPU architecture as well.
Note that we continue to achieve the compactness on optimised kernels
by forcing tests to always-false or always-true as appropriate, thereby
allowing the compiler to do build-time code elimination.

Rather than pollute asm/cacheflush.h with the cache type definitions,
move them to asm/cachetype.h, and include this new header where
necessary.
