Cover letter [patch 0/2] [patch 0/2] ARM: Disable outer cache before kexec call -V2

The following patch series addresses the problem, that the kexec code does not disable the outer cache before disabling the inner cache and jumping into the new kernel. This results in random crashes of the new kernel.

Changes since version 1:

- added flush_all() and inv_all() functions to outer_cache_fns so OMAP can override the disable() function easily.

- changed the implementation from inv_all() -> disable() to flush_all() -> disable() -> inv_all() according to feedback from Russell and Catalin.

Thanks,
