[PATCH] powerpc: check cache coherency of kernel vs firmware

This function verifies that the cache coherency setting of the kernel
(CONFIG_NOT_COHERENT_CACHE) matches that left by the firmware, as
indicated by coherency-off device tree property.
It's only needed on platforms where cache-coherency can be enabled or
disabled by firmware, e.g. mv64x60-based platforms.
