From: Peng Fan <peng.fan at nxp.com>

To boot a auxiliary core in asymmetric multicore system, introduce the
new command "bootaux" to do it. Example of boot auxliary core from
0x70000000 where stores the boot head information that should be
parsed by auxiliary core, "bootaux 0x70000000".
Introduce Kconfig option IMX_BOOTAUX.
