This patch implements a fast path for this SMC call on affected PEs by
detecting and returning immediately after executing the workaround.
NOTE: The MMU disable/enable workaround now assumes that the MMU was
enabled on entry to EL3. This is a valid assumption as the code turns
on the MMU after reset and leaves it on until the core powers off.

Invalidate the Branch Target Buffer (BTB) on entry to EL3 by disabling
and enabling the MMU. To achieve this without performing any branch
instruction, a per-cpu vbar is installed which executes the workaround
and then branches off to the corresponding vector entry in the main
vector table. A side effect of this change is that the main vbar is
configured before any reset handling. This is to allow the per-cpu
reset function to override the vbar setting.
This workaround is enabled by default on the affected CPUs.
