To ensure that no cache lines cover any of the data that is accessed by
the booting kernel with the MMU off, cover the uncompressed kernel's BSS
region in the cache clean operation.

Also, to ensure that no cachelines are allocated while the cache is being
cleaned, perform the cache clean operation *after* disabling the MMU and
caches when running on v7 or later, by making a tail call to the clean
routine from the cache_off routine. This requires passing the VA range
to cache_off(), which means some care needs to be taken to preserve
R0 and R1 across the call to cache_off().

Since this makes the first cache clean redundant, call it with the
range reduced to zero. This only affects v7, as all other versions
ignore R0/R1 entirely.

Seems to work, thanks! I'd suggest we follow up with this patch which
gets rid of all the register shuffling:
Agreed

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: decompressor: tidy up register usage

Tidy up the registers so we don't end up having to shuffle values
between registers to work around other register usages.
