[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/4] Introduce low-level debug for ARM architecture

I have been in trouble for a while to debug some nasty problem
where neighter a debugger nor printf() function is available.

I found the lowlevel debug feature in ARM Linux can be used as is
in U-Boot too.

I tested this series on our SoCs (32bit ARM, specificly Coretex-A9).
Because I was not sure about aarch64, I have this feature
depend on "! ARM64".

1/4 and 2/4 refactor a bit and move CONFIG_ARM64 to Kconfig.

3/4 imports some source files from Linux 3.16 and
4/4 adds the Kconfig menu.

  vexpress64: kconfig: consolidate CONFIG_TARGET_VEXPRESS_AEMV8A_SEMI
  kconfig: armv8: move CONFIG_ARM64 to Kconfig
  arm: debug: import debug files from Linux 3.16
  arm: debug: add Kconfig entries for lowlevel debug
