Subject: [PATCH] arch/tile: support <asm/cachectl.h> header for cacheflush() syscall

We already had a syscall that did some dcache flushing, but it was
not used in practice.  Make it MIPS compatible instead so it can
do both the DCACHE and ICACHE actions.  We have code that wants to
be able to use the ICACHE flush mode from userspace so this change
enables that.

+ * Options for cacheflush system call.
+ *
+ * The ICACHE flush is performed on all cores currently running the
+ * current process's address space.  The intent is for user
+ * applications to be able to modify code, invoke the system call,
+ * then allow arbitrary other threads in the same address space to see
+ * the newly-modified code.  Passing a length of CHIP_L1I_CACHE_SIZE()
+ * or more invalidates the entire icache on all cores in the address
+ * spaces.  (Note: currently this option invalidates the entire icache
+ * regardless of the requested address and length, but we may choose
+ * to honor the arguments at some point.)
+ *
+ * Flush and invalidation of memory can normally be performed with the
+ * __insn_flush(), __insn_inv(), and __insn_finv() instructions from
+ * userspace.  The DCACHE option to the system call allows userspace
+ * to flush the entire L1+L2 data cache from the core.  In this case,
+ * the address and length arguments are not used.  The DCACHE flush is
+ * restricted to the current core, not all cores in the address space.
