This change allows to keep board description clean and minimalistic.
This is especially helpful if one board may house different CPUs with
different features.
It is applicable to both FPGA-based boards or those that have CPUs
mounted on interchnagable daughter-boards.

"reset.c" and "cpu.c" have no architecture-specific code at all.
Others are applicable to either ARC CPU.
This change is a preparation to submission of ARCv2 architecture port.
Even though ARCv1 and ARCv2 ISAs are not binary compatible most of
built-in modules still have the same programming model - AUX registers
are mapped in the same addresses and hold the same data (new featues
extend existing ones).
So only low-level assembly code (start-up, interrupt handlers) is left
as CPU(actually ISA)-specific. This significantyl simplifies maintenance
of multiple CPUs/ISAs.

Some cache operations ({i|d}cache_{enable|disable|status} or
flush_dcache_all) are built and used even if CONFIG_SYS_{I|D}CACHE_OFF
is set.
This is required for force disable of caches on early boot.
What if something was executed before U-boot and enabled caches
(low-level bootloaders, previously run kernel etc.)?
But if CPU doesn't really have caches any attempt to access
cache-related AUX registers triggers instruction error exception.
So for convenience we'll try to avoid exceptions by checking if CPU
actually has caches (we check separately data and instruction cache
existence) at all.
