[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 03/23] armv8: add lowlevel_init.S

For boards that call s_init() when the SPL runs, we are expected to
setup an early stack before calling this C function.
Implement the proper AArch64 version of this based on the ARMv7 code.
This allows sunxi boards to setup the basic peripherals even on with a
64-bit SPL.
