[PATCH 10/13] powerpc: check cache coherency of kernel vs firmware

From: Dale Farnsworth <dale at farnsworth.org>
check_cache_coherency() 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.
