To avoid speculative access to read-sensitive memory-mapped peripherals on ARMv7, let's use client domain permissions for all memory, so the XN bit (and also R/W bits) can function. This aligns us with what Linux is doing on ARMv7. This fixes cache corruption instances that had been observed on the i.MX6UL(L) when the instruction prefetcher speculates into memory following the end of a 512M SDRAM[2]. While this is not necessary to avoid speculative accesses on < ARMv7, we could probably have everything there in client domain as well, but due to lack of test coverage, we'll restrict the change to ARMv7.
