[U-Boot] [RFC PATCH 3/6] ARM: add U-Boot command "hypmode" to switch to non-secure state

In preparation for the actual HYP mode switch, we introduce a new
U-Boot command called "hypmode". For now we only do the non-secure
switch here.
Some part of the work is done in the assembly routine in start.S,
introduced with the previous patch, but for the full glory we need
to setup the GIC distributor interface once for the whole system,
which is done in C here.
The routine is placed in arch/arm/lib to allow easy access from
different boards or CPUs.
First we check for the availability of the security extensions.
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.
Since we need a safe way to access the GIC, we use the PERIPHBASE
registers on Cortex-A15 and A7 CPUs and do some sanity checks.
Then we actually do the GIC enablement:
a) enable the GIC distributor, both for non-secure and secure state
(GICD_CTLR[1:0] = 11b)
b) allow all interrupts to be handled from non-secure state
(GICD_IGROUPRn = 0xFFFFFFFF)
The core specific GIC setup is then done in the assembly routine.
The actual U-Boot command is pretty small: calling the routine and
doing some error reporting. A return value of 1 will be added later.
To enable the whole code we introduce the CONFIG_CMD_VIRT variable.
