From: Kyungmin Park <kyungmin.park at samsung.com>

To support multi-platform, it needs to know it's running under secure OS or not.
sometime it needs to access physical address by smc calls.

e.g., 
	if (firmware_run()) {
		addr = physical address;
	} else {
		addr = virtual address;
	}

	call_firmware_ops(read_address, addr, &value);
