[U-Boot] [RFC PATCH 4/6] ARM: add SMP support for non-secure switch

Currently the non-secure switch is only done for the boot processor.
To later allow full SMP support, we have to switch all secondary
cores into non-secure state also.

So we add an entry point for secondary CPUs coming out of low-power
state and make sure we put them into WFI again after having switched
to non-secure state.
For this we acknowledge and EOI the wake-up IPI, then go into WFI.
Once being kicked out of it later, we sanity check that the start
address has actually been changed (since another attempt to switch
to non-secure would block the core) and jump to the new address.

The actual CPU kick is done by sending an inter-processor interrupt
via the GIC to all CPU interfaces except the requesting processor.
The secondary cores will then setup their respective GIC CPU
interface.

The address secondary cores jump to is board specific, we provide
the value here for the Versatile Express board.
