MIPS: c-r4k.c: Fix the 74K D-cache alias erratum workaround
Fix the 74K D-cache alias erratum workaround so that it actually works. Our current code sets MIPS_CACHE_VTAG for the D-cache, but that flag only has any effect for the I-cache. Additionally MIPS_CACHE_PINDEX is set for the D-cache if CP0.Config7.AR is also set for an affected processor, leading to confusing information in the bootstrap log (the flag isn't used beyond that). So delete the setting of MIPS_CACHE_VTAG and rely on MIPS_CACHE_ALIASES, set in a common place, removing I-cache coherency issues seen in GDB testing with software breakpoints, gdbserver and ptrace(2), on affected systems. While at it add a little piece of explanation of what CP0.Config6.SYND is so that people do not have to chase documentation. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.
