cpus: higher performance non-cacheable load forwarding
The CPUACTLR_EL1 register on Cortex-A57 CPUs supports a bit to enable
non-cacheable streaming enhancement. Platforms can set this bit only
if their memory system meets the requirement that cache line fill
requests from the Cortex-A57 processor are atomic.

This patch adds support to enable higher performance non-cacheable load
forwarding for such platforms. Platforms must enable this support by
setting the 'A57_ENABLE_NONCACHEABLE_LOAD_FWD' flag from their
makefiles. This flag is disabled by default.
