This some janitorial work on head.S, just stuff I noticed when making
changes to it for other reasons.

This still needs acks on patches #2, #5 and #8

Changes since v4:
- included Marc Zyngier's struct cpu_table removal patch
- dropped __lookup_processor_type_data patch now that Marc has nuked the
  whole thing
- added patch to merge __enable_mmu() and __turn_mmu_on() into a single
  function, as there is no need for funky trampoline stuff when you have
  two non-overlapping TTBRs
- added patch to remove __calc_phys_offset and use PC-relative references or
  absolute (linker generated) references as appropriate
- added patch to complain when x1/x2/x3 are non-zero, which helps ensure that
  we will ever be able to use them for anything
- added R-b's

Changes since v3:
- added similar patch for secondary_holding_pen_release
- fixed bug in patch #1 (ldr_l)

Changes since v2:
- added separate patch to add macros for adrp/add, adrp/ldr and adrp/str
- added R-b's

  arm64: add macros for common adrp usages
  arm64: remove processor_id
  arm64: remove __switch_data object from head.S
  arm64: use PC-relative reference for secondary_holding_pen_release
