Initialisations of memory locations (for example, x) take place before we intialise the corresponding PTE value (for example, PTE(x)). In some cases, handling the intialision of the PTE values necesitates a change of memory attributes. When this happens, the intialisation of the memory location uses the default memory attributes (Normal,ISH,WB) and that means that the next access to that memory location will happen with mismatcheched memory attributes. To avoid creating the conditions for mismatched memory attributes at initialisation, this patches changes litmus7 to perform cache maintenance when needed.
