I was discussing this with Dave earlier, I think we need to fix the
outer-cache functions even for the UP case to include a barrier (for
PL310 actually we may need to read a register as the cache_wait is a
no-op). We assume that cache functions (both inner and outer) fully
complete the operation before returning and there is no additional need
for barriers.
