[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/6] ARM: add secure monitor handler to switch to non-secure state

A prerequisite for using virtualization is to be in HYP mode, which
requires the CPU to be in non-secure state.
Introduce a monitor handler routine which switches the CPU to
non-secure state by setting the NS and associated bits.
According to the ARM ARM this should not be done in SVC mode, so we
have to setup a SMC handler for this. We reuse the current vector
table for this and make sure that we only access the MVBAR register
if the CPU supports the security extension and only if we
configured the board to use it, since boards entering u-boot already
in non-secure mode would crash on accessing MVBAR otherwise.
