In case of ARCv2 CPU there're could be following configurations
that affect cache handling for data exchanged with peripherals
via DMA:
[1] Only L1 cache exists
[2] Both L1 and L2 exist, but no IO coherency unit
[3] L1, L2 caches and IO coherency unit exist
Current implementation takes care of [1] and [2].
Moreover support of [2] is implemented with run-time check
for SLC existence which is not super optimal.
This patch introduces support of [3] and rework of DMA ops
usage. Instead of doing run-time check every time a particular
DMA op is executed we'll have 3 different implementations of
DMA ops and select appropriate one during init.
As for IOC support for it we need:
[a] Implement empty DMA ops because IOC takes care of cache
coherency with DMAed data
[b] Route dma_alloc_coherent() via dma_alloc_noncoherent()
This is required to make IOC work in first place and also
serves as optimization as LD/ST to coherent buffers can be
srviced from caches w/o going all the way to memory

SLC maintenance ops need to be serialized by software as there is no
inherent buffering / quequing of aux commands. It can silently ignore a
new aux operation if previous one is still ongoing (SLC_CTRL_BUSY)
So gaurd the SLC op using a spin lock
The spin lock doesn't seem to be contended even in heavy workloads such
as iperf. On FPGA @ 75 MHz.

L2 cache on ARCHS processors is called SLC (System Level Cache)
For working DMA (in absence of hardware assisted IO Coherency) we need
to manage SLC explicitly when buffers transition between cpu and
controllers.

Caveats about cache flush on ARCv2 based cores
- dcache is PIPT so paddr is sufficient for cache maintenance ops (no
need to setup PTAG reg
- icache is still VIPT but only aliasing configs need PTAG setup
So basically this is departure from MMU-v3 which always need vaddr in
line ops registers (DC_IVDL, DC_FLDL, IC_IVIL) but paddr in DC_PTAG,
IC_PTAG respectively.

- Remove the ifdef'ery and write distinct versions for each mmu ver even
if there is some code duplication

That is because __after_dc_op() already reads it for status check, so it
is better anyways to use that "newer" value.
Also reduces the clutter in callers for passing from/to these routines.
