Right now we trap some of the user space data cache operations
based on a few Errata (ARM 819472, 826319, 827319 and 824069).
We need to trap userspace access to CTR_EL0, if we detect mismatched
cache line size. Since both these traps share the EC, refactor
the handler a little bit to make it a bit more reader friendly.

This looks fine to me, but I'd really like to see Andre's ack on the
refactoring of the errata workarounds.

Andre, can you take a look please?
