ARM: Introduce ability to enable ACR::IBE on Cortex-A8 for CVE-2017-5715
As recommended by Arm in [1], IBE[2] has to be enabled unconditionally
for BPIALL to be functional on Cortex-A8 processors. Provide a config
option for platforms to enable this option based on impact analysis
for products.
NOTE: This patch in itself is NOT the final solution, this requires:
a) Implementation of v7_arch_cp15_set_acr on SoCs which may not
provide direct access to ACR register.
b) Operating Systems such as Linux to provide adequate workaround in the right
locations.
c) This workaround applies to only the boot processor. It is important
to apply workaround as necessary (context-save-restore) around low
power context loss OR additional processors as necessary in either
firmware support OR elsewhere in OS.
