+/*
+ * Disabling cache access for one CPU in an ARMv7 SMP system is tricky.
+ * To do so we must:
+ *
+ * - Clear the SCTLR.C bit to prevent further cache allocations
+ * - Flush the desired level of cache
+ * - Clear the ACTLR "SMP" bit to disable local coherency
+ *
+ * ... and so without any intervening memory access in between those steps,
+ * not even to the stack.
+ *
+ * WARNING -- After this has been called:
+ *
+ * - No ldrex/strex (and similar) instructions must be used.
+ * - The CPU is obviously no longer coherent with the other CPUs.
+ * - This is unlikely to work as expected if Linux is running non-secure.
+ *
+ * Note:
+ *
+ * - This is known to apply to several ARMv7 processor implementations,
+ * however some exceptions may exist. Caveat emptor.
+ *
+ * - The clobber list is dictated by the call to v7_flush_dcache_*.
+ * fp is preserved to the stack explicitly prior disabling the cache
+ * since adding it to the clobber list is incompatible with having
+ * CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y. ip is saved as well if ever r12-clobbering
+ * trampoline are inserted by the linker and to keep sp 64-bit aligned.
