Subject: [PATCH v3 12/15] MIPS: OCTEON: Remove setting of processor specific CVMCTL icache bits.

From: Chad Reese <kreese@...iumnetworks.com>

CN38XX pass 1 required icache prefetching to be turned off. This chip never
reached production and is long dead. Other processor specific icache settings
are done by the bootloader. Remove these bits from the kernel.
