Hmm this routine is NOT even called if ioc_enable is 0. See arc_cache_init_master()
??? if (is_isa_arcv2() && ioc_enable)
??? ??? arc_ioc_setup();
So better to write another function for disabling - just like we do for SLC.
Anyhow that's the mechanics. In terms of actual code
1. Should we do this if coh was actually enabled by bootloader / pre-bootloader -
by reading out the existing value of COH_ENABLE aux register ?
2. Do we need to make sure that there are no D$ snoop transactions in flight while
doing this. Although slave cores would likely be halted (or spinning on uncached
flag) still if this is done, it would be preferable to do this under
__dc_disable() to make sure any prior in-flight snoop transactions settle down.

Only checking for ioc_enable suffices since read_decode_cache_bcr_arcv2() ensures
it is (re)set 0 if ioc_exists == 0
