[U-Boot] ref: virt-v7.c switching to non_secure mode

Hi Andrey ,

This is wrt your patch set which enabled the switch to non-sec and hip mode in armv7.
We have a small piece of code which we run in hypmode using the bootm command on arndale board

While this code was trying to access the GICD_ISENABLR0 (0x10481100), read was always returning 0, while as per the reset value it should be 0x0000ffff. Debugged more in u-boot and added prints.

This is the log, our observation is that in _nonsec_init() there is something that is causing the issue. Now It can be an issue or a gap in our understanding. Ideally we should be able to read the GICD_ISENABLR value as 0xffff.
Can you please help us in find out how to read GIC values properly in hyp mode.

armv7_switch_nonsec 
cpsr =600001d3
REGS ffff 
Before write to group regs 
cpsr =600001d3
REGS ffff 
Before _nonsec_init() 
cpsr =600001d3
REGS ffff 
After _nonsec_init() 
cpsr =600001d3
REGS 0 

HYP mode: successful.
armv7_switch_hyp 
cpsr =600001da
REGS 0 

Here is the diff of our modifications. (just added prints)
