Dimitris Papastamos f62ad32269 Workaround for CVE-2017-5715 on Cortex A57 and A72
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.
