This patch adds support for "earlyprintk=" parameter on the kernel
command line. The format is:
earlyprintk=<name>[,<addr>][,<options>]
where <name> is the name of the (UART) device, e.g. "pl011", <addr> is
the I/O address. The <options> aren't currently used.
The mapping of the earlyprintk device is done very early during kernel
boot and there are restrictions on which functions it can call. A
special early_io_map() function is added which creates the mapping from
the pre-defined EARLY_IOBASE to the device I/O address passed via the
kernel parameter. The pgd entry corresponding to EARLY_IOBASE is
pre-populated in head.S during kernel boot.
Only PL011 is currently supported and it is assumed that the interface
is already initialised by the boot loader before the kernel is started.

The architecture doesn't mandate any reset value for vttbr_el2.
Better set it to a known value before some HYP code gets confused.

If booted in EL2, install an dummy hypervisor whose only purpose
is to be replaced by a full fledged one.
A minimal API allows to:
- obtain the current HYP vectors (__hyp_get_vectors)
- set new HYP vectors (__hyp_set_vectors)

To be able to signal the availability of EL2 to other parts of
the kernel, record the boot mode.
Once booted, two predicates indicate if HYP mode is available,
and if not, whether this is due to a boot mode mismatch or not.

We want to use the virtual counter at EL0, as the physical counter
may not track the current clocksource for guests running under a
hypervisor.
This patch updates the vdso and generic timer driver to use the virtual
counter. The kernel EL2 entry code is also updated to ensure that the
virtual offset is initialised to zero.

The patch adds the kernel booting and the initial setup code.
Documentation/arm64/booting.txt describes the booting protocol on the
AArch64 Linux kernel. This is subject to change following the work on
boot standardisation, ACPI.
