From: Fabrice Gasnier <fabrice.gasnier at st.com>
This patch adds imprecise abort enable/disable macros and uses them to
enable imprecise aborts early when starting the kernel.
This helps in tracking down the real cause for such imprecise abort, as
they are handled as soon as they occur. Until now those aborts would
only be enabled when entering the userspace and as a consequence crash
the first userspace process if any abort had been raised during kernel
startup.

lst:
- rebased to current kernel
- reworked commit message
- moved abort enable to point where handlers could run
(tested by hacking bootloader to leave a dangling abort behind)
