[PATCH] D37788: [ARM] builtins: Do not abort in clear_cache.

Ugh, this is not particularly helpful.  I think that in the case that we can detect the failure, it would be nice.  OTOH, I agree that these functions are special (effectively to be treated as if the compiler had emitted them inline).  I think that having a guarded way to actually keep the abort is nice ... maybe an `assert(start_reg == 0 && "syscall failed");` instead.  That would just get pulled out in the case of a `_NDEBUG` build.

@peter.smith I don't think that the "kernel" here would be anything other than Linux.  If the kernel version is missing the reporting, that is a different issue.

As an aside, it sounds like although this is a pain to debug, it may actually be identifying a real issue?  (which is a good reason to keep it around).
