ARM: 7661/1: mm: perform explicit branch predictor maintenance when required
The ARM ARM requires branch predictor maintenance if, for a given ASID,
the instructions at a specific virtual address appear to change.
From the kernel's point of view, that means:
- Changing the kernel's view of memory (e.g. switching to the
identity map)
- ASID rollover (since ASIDs will be re-allocated to new tasks)
This patch adds explicit branch predictor maintenance when either of the
two conditions above are met.
