ARC: cacheflush optim - PTAG can be loop invariant if V-P is const
Line op needs vaddr (indexing) and paddr (tag match). For page sized
flushes (V-P const), each line op will need a different index, but the
tag bits wil remain constant, hence paddr can be setup once outside the
loop.
This improves select LMBench numbers for Aliasing dcache where we have
more "preventive" cache flushing.
