There are two main differences:

1) OMAP4 sets Shared attribute override enable bit. TBH, I think this is
not needed even in OMAP4 with latest kernel, but I am not sure if I can
do this safely without breaking any usecase currently working with OMAP4.

2) OMAP4 sets NS lockdown and NS interrupt access control bits. I
searched through the commit history of L2 cache support on OMAP4 but
there is no mention of why this was needed on OMAP4. I am checking
internally on the history behind this.

3) OMAP4 sets cache replacement policy to RR which is not a big deal
since thats the default anyway. We can probably drop this setting even
from OMAP4.

Thanks,
Sekhar
