This removes the range size threshold for virtual address based cache
maintenance instructions that operate on VA ranges to be 'promoted' to
use set/way instructions.
Doing so is unsafe: set/way operations are fundamentally different
from VA operations, and really only suitable for cleaning or invalidating
a cache when turning it on or off.
To quote the ARM ARM (DDI0487A_d G3.4):
"""
Since the set/way instructions are performed only locally, there is no
guarantee of the atomicity of cache maintenance between different PEs,
even if those different PEs are each performing the same cache maintenance
instructions at the same time. Since any cacheable line can be allocated
into the cache at any time, it is possible for [a] cache line to migrate
from an entry in the cache of one PE to the cache of a different PE in a
manner that the cache line avoids being affected by set/way based cache
maintenance. Therefore, ARM strongly discourages the use of set/way
instructions to manage coherency in coherent systems.

ArmPkg - Supoprt for ARM specific things that can change as the architecture changes. Plus semihosting JTAG drivers.
EmbeddedPkg - Generic support for an embeddded platform. Including a light weight command line shell.
BeagleBoardPkg - Platform specifics for BeagleBoard. SD Card works, but USB has issues. Looks like a bug in the open source USB stack (Our internal stack works fine).
