If the cache line size is greater than ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN (128),
the warning shows and it's tainted as TAINT_CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC.

However, it's not good about two points.
First, as discussed in the thread [1], the cpu cache line size will be
problem only on non-coherent devices.
Then, it should not be tainted as TAINT_CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC because
according to the specification of CTR_EL0.CWG, the maximum cache
writeback granule is 2048 byte (CWG == 0b1001).

This patch series try to:

- Show the warning only if the device is non-coherent device and
  ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN is smaller than the cpu cache size.

- Show the warning and taints as TAINT_CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC if the cache line
  size is greater than the maximum.

  arm64/mm: check cpu cache line size with non-coherent device
  arm64/mm: show TAINT_CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC warning if the cache size is over
    the spec.
