Workaround for CVE-2017-5715 on NVIDIA Denver CPUs
Flush the indirect branch predictor and RSB on entry to EL3 by issuing
a newly added instruction for Denver CPUs. Support for this operation
can be determined by comparing bits 19:16 of ID_AFR0_EL1 with 0b0001.
To achieve this without performing any branch instruction, a per-cpu
vbar is installed which executes the workaround and then branches off
to the corresponding vector entry in the main vector table. A side
effect of this change is that the main vbar is configured before any
reset handling. This is to allow the per-cpu reset function to override
the vbar setting.
