      I found an issue inside the cp15_coherent_dcache function in file, arch/arm/src/armv7-r/cp15_coherent_dcache.S.
      
      The "mcr CP15_BPIALLIS(r0)" instruction is used for invalidating entire branch predictor.  But the problem is, since this is the generic code and can be called on any armv7-r architecture based CPU's.  It is a problem, if this instruction is called in uni processor configuration. Because, BPIALLIS (c7, 0, c1, 6) instruction is only added as part of the "Multiprocessing Extensions" (As per ARM® Architecture Reference Manual /ARMv7-A and ARMv7-R edition)
      
      So in my opinion, this instruction should be under SMP configuration. In non-SMP configuration this instruction could become undefined.
