Octeon has a different cache interface with traditional R4K one,
just opt-out this flag for octeon to avoid run R4K cache initialization
code accidentally.

Also remove ISA level assumption for 4k cache.

This breaks compile-time optimization for this feature => hurts
performance on non-Octeon machines. Could this be done some other way?
E.g. could this be defined depending on
CONFIG_SYS_HAS_CPU_OCTEON_WHATEVER? Via its own cpu-features.h or here,
that's the second question. So that the platforms which 100% can't have
this family of CPUs wouldn't get affected.

Thanks for the comment.

This feature is only checked once during boot and never checked at runtime so I think impact
should be negligible.

Just don’t want to have another ifdef here :-)


Thanks

Ah, didn't notice it's not used anywhere on hotpath. Just forgot that
MIPS installs cache sync callbacks once at boot and then use them.

I'm not sure one ifdef would hurt, we probably need a third opinion here
:D Maybe Thomas'. But I'm fine with the current implementation.
