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.
