Commit Message

As recommended by Arm in [1], IBE[2] has to be enabled unconditionally
for BPIALL to be functional on Cortex-A8 processors. Provide a config
option for platforms to enable this option based on impact analysis
for products.

NOTE: This patch in itself is NOT the final solution, this requires:
a) Implementation of v7_arch_cp15_set_acr on SoCs which may not
   provide direct access to ACR register.
b) Operating Systems such as Linux to provide adequate workaround in the right
   locations.

Bump ? Linux recently started checking for the IBE bit, so it'd be good
to get this applied.
