Subject[PATCH v2] ARC: Force disable IOC if we don't want to use it
Date
If software that was executed before Linux kernel [like boot-ROM or
bootloader] enabled IOC but we'd like to not use it [mostly for
debugging of weird DMA issues] we essentially need to disable IOC.
So we do here.

Note we will only disable IOC if "ioc_enable" variable is force set to 0.
As of today that's only possible either before building right in
arch/arc/mm/cache.c or via debugger on target reght before execution of
the kernel starts.

We may make "ioc_enable" a boot-parameter later though.

Chnages in v2:
* Now disabling really works as in v1 we never entered
disabling code if ioc_enable=0.
* Do nothing if IOC was not enabled
