60a7fe5586 hw & arm: write whole SPSR in mode transition
Previously we did write the SPSR via an MSR instruction without
additional flags. Unfortunately, this tells the CPU to write the
register only partially. This often isn't a problem as the users PSR
reset value normally is conform to our expectations but in some cases
(e.g. PSR endianess bit on WandBoard core #4) the reset value is bad.
Thus, we have to add the CXSF flags (access Control + eXtension + Status
+ Flags) so the CPU overwrites the entire register.

Fixes #2254

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.
