    Add data cache support for arm1136 systems.
    
    Enable "cache" command on Qong board and test performance.
    
        Test 1: Loading 127 MB of data from NAND flash into RAM:
    
        Instr. Cache	off	on	on
          Data Cache	off	off	on
        --------------------------------------------------
        QONG (ARM11)	177s	95s	43s	= x 4.1
    
        Test 2: uncompressing a gzipped image from RAM to RAM
                (size compressed: 6.5 MiB, uncompressed: 35 MiB):
    
        Instr. Cache	off	on	on
          Data Cache	off	off	on
        --------------------------------------------------
        QONG (ARM11)	1.54s	0.95s	0.18s	= x 8.6
