[Xen-devel] [PATCH] xen/arm: Read the cacheline size from CTR register

      ARM: 6527/1: Use CTR instead of CCSIDR for the D-cache line size on ARMv7

      The current implementation of the dcache_line_size macro reads the L1
      cache size from the CCSIDR register. This, however, is not guaranteed to
      be the smallest cache line in the cache hierarchy. The patch changes to
      the macro to use the more architecturally correct CTR register.

This patch depends on "unsafe big.LITTLE support".

Previously, we discussed the possibility of reading the cacheline size
when needed from the register, instead of reading it from a variable,
but going through the code it doesn't seem like a worthwhile
optimization.
