Ard Biesheuvel June 11, 2020, 8:17 a.m. UTC 
The LPAE versions of DCACHE_WRITEBACK and DCACHE_WRITETHROUGH are currently
defined as no-allocate for both reads and writes, which deviates from the
non-LPAE definition, and mostly defeats the purpose of enabling the caches
in the first place.

So align LPAE with !LPAE, and enable allocate-on-read for both. And while
at it, add some clarification about the meaning of the chosen values.
