Stefan Kalkowski 657646e76e hw: adjust core bootstrap to fit generic process
* Introduce hw-specific crt0 for core that calls e.g.: init_main_thread
* re-map core's main thread UTCB to fit the right context area location
* switch core's main thread's stack to fit the right context area location

Fix #1440

Stefan Kalkowski 7582396e9c hw_arndale: enable ARM virtualization extensions
* enables world-switch using ARM virtualization extensions
* split TrustZone and virtualization extensions hardly from platforms,
  where it is not used
* extend 'Vm_session' interface to enable configuration of guest-physical memory
* introduce VM destruction syscall
* add virtual machine monitor for hw_arndale that emulates a simplified version
  of ARM's Versatile Express Cortex A15 board for a Linux guest OS

Martin Stein 9da42dde2f hw & arm_v7: mode transition via transit ttbr0
Previously, we did the protection-domain switches without a transitional
translation table that contains only global mappings. This was fine as long
as the CPU did no speculative memory accesses. However, to enabling branch
prediction triggers such accesses. Thus, if we don't want to invalidate
predictors on every context switch, we need to switch more carefully.

Martin Stein 6cb9559feb hw: core as library
The build config for core is now provided through libraries to enable
implicit config composition through specifiers and thereby avoid
consideration of inappropriate targets.
