Declare the __hyp_text_start/end symbols in asm/virt.h so that
they can be reused without having to declare them locally.

With ARMv8.1 VHE extension, it will be possible to run the kernel
at EL2 (aka HYP mode). In order for the kernel to easily find out
where it is running, add a new predicate that returns whether or
not the kernel is in HYP mode.
For completeness, the 32bit code also get such a predicate (always
returning false) so that code common to both architecture (timers,
KVM) can use it transparently.

In order to be able to spread the HYP code into multiple compilation
units, adopt a layout similar to that of arm64:
- the HYP text is emited in its own section (.hyp.text)
- two linker generated symbols are use to identify the boundaries
of that section
No functionnal change.

Secondary CPUs write to __boot_cpu_mode with caches disabled, and thus a
cached value of __boot_cpu_mode may be incoherent with that in memory.
This could lead to a failure to detect mismatched boot modes.
This patch adds flushing to ensure that writes by secondaries to
__boot_cpu_mode are made visible before we test against it.

During boot, we detect whether or not all CPUs are brought up in the
same mode and signal this to the kernel using the N bit in the SPSR.
This patch tidies up the checking code to use the PSR_N_BIT macro,
rather than hardcoding the bit field and commenting it as such.

In order to easily detect pathological cases, print some diagnostics
when the kernel boots.
This also provides helpers to detect that HYP mode is actually available,
which can be used by other subsystems to enable HYP specific features.

This patch does two things:
* Ensure that asynchronous aborts are masked at kernel entry.
The bootloader should be masking these anyway, but this reduces
the damage window just in case it doesn't.
* Enter svc mode via exception return to ensure that CPU state is
properly serialised. This does not matter when switching from
an ordinary privileged mode ("PL1" modes in ARMv7-AR rev C
parlance), but it potentially does matter when switching from a
another privileged mode such as hyp mode.
This should allow the kernel to boot safely either from svc mode or
hyp mode, even if no support for use of the ARM Virtualization
Extensions is built into the kernel.
