Subject[PATCH] arch/tile: avoid a simulator warning during bootup
As the added comment says, we can sometimes see a coherence warning
from our simulator if the "swapper_pgprot" variable on the boot cpu
has not been evicted from cache by the time the other cpus come up.
Force it to be evicted so we never see the warning.
