[PATCH v2 1/3] ARM: l2c: add pl310-no-sideband option

[Chris Brandt <chris.brandt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If a PL310 is added to a system, but the sideband signals are not
connected, some Cortex A9 optimizations cannot be used. In particular,
enabling Full Line Zeros in the CA9 without sidebands connected will
crash the system since the CA9 will expect the L2C to perform operations,
yet the L2C never gets the commands.
