Stefan Kalkowski 786fe805da base: introduce caching attributes (fix #1184)
On ARM it's relevant to not only distinguish between ordinary cached memory
and write-combined one, but also having non-cached memory too. To insert the
appropriated page table entries e.g.: in the base-hw kernel, we need to preserve
the information about the kind of memory from allocation until the pager
resolves a page fault. Therefore, this commit introduces a new Cache_attribute
type, and replaces the write_combined boolean with the new type where necessary.

README

This repository contains dummy implementations of platform-specific Genode APIs
to enable the compilation of Genode for the host platform. Because the
repository provides only dummy implementations, most of the generated binaries
will not work. However, the repository serves two important purposes. It
documents the platform- specific APIs that must be filled out when porting
Genode to another platform, and it is the build environment for unit tests
executed on the host platform.
