The PL310 on the ct-ca9x4 tile for the Versatile Express does not need
to add additional latency when accessing its cache RAMs. Unfortunately,
the boot monitor sets this up for an 8-cycle delay on reads and writes,
resulting in greatly reduced memory performance when the L2 cache is
enabled.
This patch sets the L2 RAM latencies to the correct value of 1 cycle
on the ct-ca9x4 tile before enabling the L2 cache.

Clearing bit 22 in the PL310 Auxiliary Control register (shared
attribute override enable) has the side effect of transforming Normal
Shared Non-cacheable reads into Cacheable no-allocate reads.
Coherent DMA buffers in Linux always have a Cacheable alias via the
kernel linear mapping and the processor can speculatively load cache
lines into the PL310 controller. With bit 22 cleared, Non-cacheable
reads would unexpectedly hit such cache lines leading to buffer
corruption.

This patch updates the initialisation routines for the Realview boards
and the Versatile Express board [ca9x4 tile] so that they register their
PMU IRQs with the PMU framework in the Kernel.
