David Milosevic 41ba11229a arch/arm64: Add EL1/EL2/EL3 support for arm64
Currently, arch/arm64 requires coreboot to run on EL3 due
to EL3 register access. This might be an issue when, for example,
one boots into TF-A first and drops into EL2 for coreboot afterwards.

This patch aims at making arch/arm64 more versatile by removing the
current EL3 constraint and allowing arm64 coreboot to run on EL1,
EL2 and EL3.

The strategy here, is to add a Kconfig option (ARM64_CURRENT_EL) which
lets us specify coreboot's EL upon entry. Based on that, we access the
appropriate ELx registers. So, for example, when running coreboot on
EL1, we would not access vbar_el3 or vbar_el2 but instead vbar_el1.
This way, we don't generate faults when accessing higher-EL registers.

Currently only tested on the qemu-aarch64 target. Exceptions were
tested by enabling FATAL_ASSERTS.

The exception level on which coreboot is started. Accepted
values are: 1 (EL1), 2 (EL2) and 3 (EL3). This option can be
used to restrict access to available control registers in case
prior firmware already dropped to a lower exception level. By default,
coreboot is the first firmware that runs on the system and should thus
always run on EL3. This option is only provided for edge-case platforms
that require running a different firmware before coreboot which drops
to a lower exception level.

Some early Cortex-A53 revisions had a hardware bug that results in
incorrect address calculations in rare cases. This option enables a
linker workaround to avoid those cases if your toolchain supports it.
Should be selected automatically by SoCs that are affected.
