To enable hypervisors utilizing the ARMv7 virtualization extension
on the Versatile Express board with the A15 core tile, we add the
required configuration variable.
Also we define the board specific smp_set_cpu_boot_addr() function to
set the start address for secondary cores in the VExpress specific
manner.
There is no need to provide a custom smp_waitloop() function here.
This also serves as an example for what to do when adding support for
new boards.

While actually switching to non-secure state is one thing, another
part of this process is to make sure that we still have full access
to the interrupt controller (GIC).
The GIC is fully aware of secure vs. non-secure state, some
registers are banked, others may be configured to be accessible from
secure state only.
To be as generic as possible, we get the GIC memory mapped address
based on the PERIPHBASE value in the CBAR register. Since this
register is not architecturally defined, we check the MIDR before to
be from an A15 or A7.
For CPUs not having the CBAR or boards with wrong information herein
we allow providing the base address as a configuration variable.
Now that we know the GIC address, we:
a) allow private interrupts to be delivered to the core
(GICD_IGROUPR0 = 0xFFFFFFFF)
b) enable the CPU interface (GICC_CTLR[0] = 1)
c) set the priority filter to allow non-secure interrupts
(GICC_PMR = 0xFF)
Also we allow access to all coprocessor interfaces from non-secure
state by writing the appropriate bits in the NSACR register.
The generic timer base frequency register is only accessible from
secure state, so we have to program it now. Actually this should be
done from primary firmware before, but some boards seems to omit
this, so if needed we do this here with a board specific value.
The Versatile Express board does not need this, so we remove the
frequency from the configuration file here.
After having switched to non-secure state, we also enable the
non-secure GIC CPU interface, since this register is banked.
Since we need to call this routine also directly from the smp_pen
later (where we don't have any stack), we can only use caller saved
registers r0-r3 and r12 to not mess with the compiler.

This adds support for the Cortex-A15-TC2 core tile for the Versatile
Express board by ARM. This is mostly a copy of the A5 support file,
but will be extended later with A15 specific options.
