Only allow safe cache configurations on ARMv6 and later

Currently, Linux doesn't generate correct page tables for ARMv6 and
later cores if the cache policy is different from the default one (it
may lead to strongly ordered or shared device mappings). This patch
disallows cache policies other than writeback and the
CPU_[ID]CACHE_DISABLE options only affect the CP15 system control
register rather than the page tables.
