Subject: ARM: 5701/1: ARM: copy_page.S: take into account the size of the
 cache line

Optimized version of copy_page() was written with assumption that cache
line size is 32 bytes. On Cortex-A8 cache line size is 64 bytes.

This patch tries to generalize copy_page() to work with any cache line
size if cache line size is multiple of 16 and page size is multiple of
two cache line size.

After this optimization we've got ~25% speedup on OMAP3(tested in
userspace).

There is test for kernelspace which trigger copy-on-write after fork():

 #include <stdlib.h>
 #include <string.h>
 #include <unistd.h>

 #define BUF_SIZE (10000*4096)
 #define NFORK 200

 int main(int argc, char **argv)
 {
         char *buf = malloc(BUF_SIZE);
         int i;

         memset(buf, 0, BUF_SIZE);

         for(i = 0; i < NFORK; i++) {
                 if (fork()) {
                         wait(NULL);
                 } else {
                         int j;

                         for(j = 0; j < BUF_SIZE; j+= 4096)
                                 buf[j] = (j & 0xFF) + 1;
                         break;
                 }
         }

         free(buf);
         return 0;
 }

Before optimization this test takes ~66 seconds, after optimization
takes ~56 seconds.
