I thought it was only realview-pb and omap2, but it seems there
are more, at least ast2500 is an important example.

I could not find information about integrator-cp and picoxcell.
For reference, this is a list of the arm11 chips we currently support,
with the aliasing dcache ones marked '*':

* ast2500: armv6k, arm1176, ??KB aliasing VIPT
  bcm2835: armv6k, arm1176, 16KB non-aliasing VIPT
  cns3xxx: armv6k, arm11mpcore, 32kb PIPT
  imx3: armv6, arm1136r0, 16kb non-aliasing VIPT
  integrator CM1136JF-S core module: arm1136r?, 16kb non-aliasing VIPT
? integrator CTB36 core tile: arm1136r?, ???
  ox820: armv6k, arm11mpcore, ??KB PIPT
* omap2: armv6, arm1136r0, 32kb aliasing VIPT
? picoxcell: armv6k, arm11??
* realview-pb1176: armv6k, arm1176, 32kb aliasing VIPT
  realview-eb with 1176 core tile: armv6k, 16kb non-aliasing VIPT
  realview-eb with 11mpcore core tile: armv6k, 32kb PIPT
  s3c64xx: armv6k, arm1176, 16kb non-aliasing VIPT
