[boot-wrapper 0/7] Add Armv8-R AArch64 support

Currently, we cannot boot Linux with boot-wrapper on Armv8-R AArch64:
1. The Armv8-R AArch64 profile does not support the EL3.
2. The Armv8-R AArch64 EL2 only supports a PMSA, which Linux does not
support. So it's necessary to drop into EL1 before entering the kernel.
3. There is no EL2 booting code for Armv8-R AArch64 and no
configuration for dropping to EL1 in boot-wrapper.

These patches enable boot-wrapper booting Linux with Armv8-R AArch64.

This is a rework and rebase of a serie already present upstream [1], apart
from patch 3 which is addressing a small bug and patch 6 and 7 which are
introducing support for PSCI boot through hvc conduit and Xen boot under Armv8-R
AArch64.
