Perhaps Tom can clarify if he's OK with this, since he wanted a separate
cpu/cortex_a9 directory to be created (The first version of my patch series
just put the Ux500 code into cortex_a8).

The only potential problem I see with this is that some fixups will have to be
done in the Makefiles for lib$(CPU).a generation since $(CPU) would have a
slash in it after this.  This could be avoided by keeping the SOC directories
for all Cortexes in cpu/arm_cortex itself instead of a8 and a9 subdirectories.
