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

Fixes #1405

README 

This is a small example virtual machine monitor, that uses the base-hw kernel
as secure-world micro-hypervisor on ARM TrustZone platforms.  The VMM
configures TrustZone hardware in a way, that allows a guest to access nearly
all devices, and the DDR-RAM. Only few resources needed by the kernel (timer,
SRAM) aren't accessable by the virtual-machine.

Moreover, the VMM prepares the guest memory with a Linux image, and ramdisk,
and boots it. For the Linux guest to work properly a small patch, and tweaked
configuration is needed.
