Some hardware blocks attached to the OCTEON bootbus run asynchronously to accesses from the CPUs. These include MMC/SD host, CF(when using DMA), and NAND controller. A bus error, or corrupt data may occur if a CPU is trying to access a bootbus connected device at the same time the bus is running asynchronous operations. To work around these problems we add this semaphore that must be acquired before initiating bootbus activity. Subsequent patches will add users for this.
