MIPS: Set MIPS_IC_SNOOPS_REMOTE for systems with CM

Browse source

In systems that include a MIPS Coherency Manager, the icache always
fills from a cache which is coherent across all CPUs. In I6400 & I6500
systems the icache fills from the dcache which is coherent across all
CPUs. In all other CM-based systems the icache fills from the L2 cache
which is shared between all cores.

This means that an icache will always see stores from remote CPUs
without needing to write them back any further than that L2, which is
what the cpu_icache_snoops_remote_store feature is used to test. In
order for it to return 1 without needing a per-platform override (which
is what Malta has relied upon so far) set the MIPS_IC_SNOOPS_REMOTE flag
when a CM is present.
