A prerequisite for using virtualization is to be in HYP mode, which
requires the CPU to be in non-secure state first.
Add new file in arch/arm/cpu/armv7 to hold a monitor handler routine
which switches the CPU to non-secure state by setting the NS and
associated bits.
According to the ARM architecture reference manual this should not be
done in SVC mode, so we have to setup a SMC handler for this.
We create a new vector table to avoid interference with other boards.
The MVBAR register will be programmed later just before the smc call.

a software interrupt is not aka. a secure monitor handler, this is
misleading, it's just the smc handler.

I agree, but I wanted to stick to the u-boot nomenclature which uses 
"software interrupt" for that exception in arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S.
So I used both names to make it more clear to the u-boot reader.
If I make a newer version, I will fix it in there.

Regards,
Andre.
