      Workaround for CVE-2017-5715 on Cortex A57 and A72 · f62ad322

      Invalidate the Branch Target Buffer (BTB) on entry to EL3 by disabling
      and enabling the MMU.  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.
      
      This workaround is enabled by default on the affected CPUs.
