Implement workaround for AT speculative behaviour
During context switching from higher EL (EL2 or higher)
to lower EL can cause incorrect translation in TLB due to
speculative execution of AT instruction using out-of-context
translation regime.
Workaround is implemented as below during EL's (EL1 or EL2)
"context_restore" operation:
1. Disable page table walk using SCTLR.M and TCR.EPD0 & EPD1
bits for EL1 or EL2 (stage1 and stage2 disabled)
2. Save all system registers except TCR and SCTLR (for EL1 and EL2)
3. Do memory barrier operation (isb) to ensure all
system register writes are done.
4. Restore TCR and SCTLR registers (for EL1 and EL2)
Errata details are available for various CPUs as below:
Cortex-A76: 1165522
Cortex-A72: 1319367
Cortex-A57: 1319537
Cortex-A55: 1530923
Cortex-A53: 1530924

Currently, Workaround is implemented as build option which is default
disabled.
