[RFC PATCH 04/11] sunxi: Add lowlevel switch to aarch64

Allwinner A64 SoC (and probably others) boots in 32-bits mode. Switching
to aarch64 is achieved by writing to the Reset Management Register (RMR)
which can be accessed through the memory space thanks to an alias.

On A64 this alias is located at 0x017000a0

+ * All 64-bit capable Allwinner SoCs reset in AArch32 (and continue to
+ * exectute the Boot ROM in this state), so we need to switch to AArch64
+ * at some point.
+ * Section G6.2.133 of the ARMv8 ARM describes the Reset Management Register
+ * (RMR), which triggers a warm-reset of a core and can request to switch
+ * into a different execution state (AArch32 or AArch64).
+ * The address at which execution starts after the reset is held in the
+ * RVBAR system register, which is architecturally read-only.
+ * Allwinner provides a writable alias of this register in MMIO space, so
+ * we can easily set the start address of AArch64 code.
+ * This code below switches to AArch64 and starts execution at the specified
+ * start address.
+ *
+ * This file has been adapted from U-Boot code sources:
+ *  - arch/arm/mach-sunxi/rmr_switch.S
+ *  - arch/arm/include/asm/arch-sunxi/boot0.h.
+ *
+ * The aarch32 assembly has already been assembled and are inserted verbatime
+ * as .word statements (the asm source is commented for each statement).
