Data or unified Cache line Clean and Invalidate by VA to Outer Cache level
Clean and Invalidate data cache by address to Outer cache level.
This instruction is present only when FEAT_OCCMO is implemented and FEAT_AA64 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to DC CIVAOC are UNDEFINED.
DC CIVAOC is a 64-bit System instruction.

Virtual address to use. No alignment restrictions apply to this VA.
If EL0 access is enabled, when executed at EL0, the instruction may generate a Permission fault, subject to the constraints described in 'MMU faults generated by cache maintenance operations'.
Execution of this instruction might require an address translation from VA to PA, and that translation might fault. For more information, see 'The data cache maintenance instruction (DC)'.
This system instruction is an alias of the SYS instruction.
Accesses to this instruction use the following encodings in the System instruction encoding space:
DC CIVAOC, <Xt>
(op0 = 0b01, op1 = 0b011, CRn = 0b0111, CRm = 0b1111, op2 = 0b000)
