ARM: Introduce function to switch to hypervisor mode
On some of the SoCs one cannot enable hypervisor mode directly from the
u-boot because the ROM code puts the chip to supervisor mode after it
jumps to boot loader. Hence introduce a weak function which can be
overridden based on the SoC type and switch to hypervisor mode in a
custom way.
