1. make sure that page table setup is not done multiple times
2. flush_dcache_all() is more appropriate while disabling cache
   than a range flush on the entire memory(flush_cache())

   Provide a default implementation for flush_dcache_all()
   for backward compatibility and to avoid build issues.

Do you know why double MMU setups happen? Can we not fix the execution 
path and remove the second MMU setup call there, rather that catching t 
on the fly to ignore it?

Please fix also parameters in this declaration.

Please note that mmu_setup() was getting called unconditionally from
dcache_enable(). I see that some drivers are calling dcache_enable()
and there are u-boot commands for enabling disabling cache.
Consequently mmu_setup() may get called multiple times.
Do we want to prevent dcache_enable() from being called multiple times?

Best regards,
Aneesh
