[PATCH v3 0/5] boot-wrapper: arm64: Xen support

These patches allow to include a Xen hypervisor binary into a boot-wrapper
ELF file, so that a Foundation Platform or a Fast Model can boot a Xen
system (including a Dom0 kernel).
The original patches have been around for a while, so this series is
merely an update to apply on the latest boot-wrapper HEAD. Also I fixed
minor things here and there (like increasing Xen's load address to
accomodate for Dom0 kernels bigger than 16 MB) and addressed Julien's
review comments.

For testing this just add: "--with-xen=/path/to/src/xen/xen" to the
./configure command line and feed the resulting xen-system.axf file to
the model.

Also this release folds in a cross-compilation fix to avoid pointless
merge conflicts.

Cheers,
Andre.
