[RFC PATCH V2] ARM: EXYNOS: Fix hotplug when CPUs boot in HYP mode

This patch is a modification from the Christoffer Dall's u-boot
patch. This is required to put the secondary processors in hyp
mode during cpu hotplug when u-boot is no longer alive.

Marc Zyngier suggested this logic to go into firmware or, u-boot
putting a trampoline code into a page /memreserve/d by DT. But
this seemed to have a problem. Once the cpu is hotplugged in
runtime, the control is in ROM code and waits for event.
Kernel provides a return address in kernel to which the processor
jumps once it gets an event. If the control branches to the
trampoline code here, this trampoline code has no kernel return
address.

Someone with better logic or better placement of this logic
elsewhere is welcome.

Regards,
Giridhar
