A prerequisite for using virtualization is to be in HYP mode, which
requires the CPU to be in non-secure state first.
Add 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.
