This might be cleaner if we had a single macro (ALIGN_MIN?) that expanded to
ALIGN(1 << SECTION_SHIFT) #ifdef CONFIG_ARM_KERNMEM_PERMS.

We already #include cp15.h in this file. If you need system_info.h, I don't
think you should bother making the include conditional.

Why only a local flush? You're changing global mappings here, right?

You could avoid the double #ifdef by moving the tcm stuff into another
function (free_tcmmem?)
