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.
