ARM: ensure initial page tables are setup for SMP systems
Mapping the same memory using two different attributes (memory type, shareability, cacheability) is unpredictable. During boot, we encounter a situation when we're updating the kernel's page tables which can lead to dirty cache lines existing in the cache which are subsequently missed. This causes stack corruption, and therefore a crash. Therefore, ensure that the shared and cacheability settings matches the configuration that will be used later; this together with the restriction in early_cachepolicy() ensures that we won't create a mismatch during boot.
