This series is to support loading a 32-bit OS, the execution state will
change from AArch64 to AArch32 when jumping to kernel. The architecture
information will be got through checking FIT image, then U-Boot will
load 32-bit OS or 64-bit OS automatically.

Spin-table method is used for secondary cores to load 32-bit OS. The
architecture information will be got through checking FIT image and
saved in the os_arch element of spin-table, then the secondary cores
will check os_arch and jump to 32-bit OS or 64-bit OS automatically.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in v3:
- Comments the functions and the arguments.
- Rename the real parameters.
- Use the macros instead of the magic values.
- Remove the redundant codes.
- Clean up all of the mess in boot_jump_linux().
- Add CONFIG_ARM64_SUPPORT_AARCH32 to detect for some ARM64 system doesn't support AArch32 state.
- Adjust the arguments for armv8_switch_to_el2_m and armv8_switch_to_el1_m.

Changes in v2:
- armv8_switch_to_el2_aarch32() is removed. armv8_switch_to_el2_m is used
  to switch to AArch64 EL2 or AArch32 Hyp.
- armv8_switch_to_el1_aarch32() is removed. armv8_switch_to_el1_m is used
  to switch to AArch64 EL1 or AArch32 SVC.
- Support to call armv8_switch_to_el2_m and armv8_switch_to_el1_m.
