ARM: add secure monitor handler to switch to non-secure state
A prerequisite for using virtualization is to be in HYP mode, which requires the CPU to be in non-secure state first. Add a new file in arch/arm/cpu/armv7 to hold a monitor handler routine which switches the CPU to non-secure state by setting the NS and associated bits. According to the ARM architecture reference manual this should not be done in SVC mode, so we have to setup a SMC handler for this. We create a new vector table to avoid interference with other boards. The MVBAR register will be programmed later just before the smc call. Signed-off-by: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@linaro.org>
