[IA64] allow user to force_pal_cache_flush



The sequence executed in check_sal_cache_flush:

	- pend a timer interrupt
	- call SAL_CACHE_FLUSH
	- see if interrupt is still pending

can hang HP machines with buggy SAL_CACHE_FLUSH implementations.

Provide a kernel command-line argument to allow users skip this
check if desired. Using this parameter will force ia64_sal_cache_flush
to call ia64_pal_cache_flush() instead of SAL_CACHE_FLUSH.
