Hydra Home Agent is a device used to maintain cache coherency. Add support
for explicit cache maintenance operations using it. A system has multiple
of these agents. Whilst only one agent is responsible for a given cache
line, interleave means that for a range operation, responsibility for the
cache lines making up the range will typically be spread across multiple
instances.

Put this driver on a new Kconfig menu under drivers/cache. The short
description as memory hotplug like operations is intended to cover
the somewhat complex set of cases where this unit applies and differentiate
it clearly from typical non coherent DMA flows.

<title>cache: Make top level Kconfig menu a boolean dependent on RISCV</title>

<id>4d1608d0ab3365d1ef9447bdbc0cb4c0962f1774</id>
<content type='text'>
The next patch will add a new type of cache maintenance driver responsible
for flushing deeper than is necessary for non coherent DMA (current
use case of drivers/cache drivers), as needed when performing operations
such as memory hotplug and security unlocking of persistent memory. The two
types of operation are similar enough to share a drivers/cache directory
and MAINTAINERS but are otherwise currently unrelated.

To avoid confusion have two separate menus. Each has dependencies that are
implemented by making them boolean symbols, here CACHEMAINT_FOR_DMA
which is dependent on RISCV as all driver are currently for platforms of
that architecture. Set new symbol default to y to avoid breaking existing
configs. This has no affect on actual code built, just visibility of the
menu.

Fence instructions are required only at the beginning and the end of
a flush operation, not separately for each cache line being flushed.
Speed up cache flushes by about 15% by removing the extra fences.

<title>cache: StarFive: Require a 64-bit system</title>

This has a bunch of {read,write}q() calls, so it won't work on 32-bit
systems.  I don't think there's any 32-bit StarFive systems, so for now
just require 64-bit.

Commit 8ec99b033147 ("irqchip/sifive-plic: Convert PLIC driver into a
platform driver") broke ccache initialization because the PLIC IRQ
domain is no longer available during an arch_initcall:

  [    0.087229] irq: no irq domain found for interrupt-controller@c000000 !
  [    0.087255] CCACHE: Could not request IRQ 0

Fix this by moving the IRQ handling code to a platform driver.

This adds support for the StarFive JH7100 SoC which also features this
SiFive cache controller.

The JH7100 has non-coherent DMAs but predate the standard RISC-V Zicbom
exension, so instead we need to use this cache controller for
non-standard cache management operations.

Unfortunately the interrupt for uncorrected data is broken on the JH7100
and fires continuously, so add a quirk to not register a handler for it.
