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

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

6370b6880a hw: rename Thread::State SCHEDULED in ACTIVE
As soon as helping is used, a thread may also be in a blocking state when its
scheduling context is ready. Hence, the state designation SCHEDULED for an active
thread would be pretty misleading.

b8ba3a7a22 hw: rename Kernel::Processor Kernel::Cpu
Kernel::Processor was a confusing remnant from the old scheme where we had a
Processor_driver (now Genode::Cpu) and a Processor (now Kernel::Cpu).
This commit also updates the in-code documentation and the variable and
function naming accordingly.

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.
