Subject: [PATCH v4 4/4] cacheinfo: Add use_arch[|_cache]_info field/function

The cache information can be extracted from either a Device
Tree (DT), the PPTT ACPI table, or arch registers (clidr_el1
for arm64).

The clidr_el1 register is used only if DT/ACPI information is not
available. It does not states how caches are shared among CPUs.

Add a use_arch_cache_info field/function to identify when the
DT/ACPI doesn't provide cache information. Use this information
to assume L1 caches are privates and L2 and higher are shared among
all CPUs.
