[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/2] ARM: Add save_boot_params for ARMv8

From: Stephen Warren <swarren at nvidia.com>

Implement a hook to allow boards to save boot-time CPU state for later
use. When U-Boot is chain-loaded by another bootloader, CPU registers may
contain useful information such as system configuration information. This
feature mirrors the equivalent ARMv7 feature.
