On Cortex-A7 an L2 set/way cache maintenance operation can overtake
an L1 set/way cache maintenance operation. The mitigation for this is
to use a `DSB` instruction before changing cache. The cache cleaning
code happens to already be doing this, so only a comment was added.

This patch enables cache helper functions `flush_dcache_range`,
`clean_dcache_range` and `invalidate_dcache_range` to exit early
if the size argument specified is zero

ge, lt, gt and le condition codes in assembly provide a signed test
whereas hs, lo, hi and ls provide the unsigned counterpart. Signed tests
should only be used when strictly necessary, as using them on logically
unsigned values can lead to inverting the test for high enough values.
All offsets, addresses and usually counters are actually unsigned
values, and should be tested as such.
Replace the occurrences of signed condition codes where it was
unnecessary by an unsigned test as the unsigned tests allow the full
range of unsigned values to be used without inverting the result with
some large operands.

This patch adds various assembly helpers for AArch32 like :
* cache management : Functions to flush, invalidate and clean
cache by MVA. Also helpers to do cache operations by set-way
are also added.
* stack management: Macros to declare stack and get the current
stack corresponding to current CPU.
* Misc: Macros to access co processor registers in AArch32,
macros to define functions in assembly, assert macros, generic
`do_panic()` implementation and function to zero block of memory.
