Cummulative patch of changes that are not vendor-specific:
- ARMv6 and ARMv7 architecture support
- ARM SMP support
- VFP/Neon support
- ARM Generic Interrupt Controller driver
- Simplification of startup code for all platforms
- A race condition could happen if two threads were using RAS at the same time
as the code didn't reset RAS_END, the RAS code could believe we were not in
a RAS, when we were in fact.
- Using signed value logic to compare addresses wasn't such a good idea.
Many thanks to Ian to investigate on these issues.

De-hardcode usage of ARM_TP_ADDRESS and RAS local storage, and move this
special purpose page to a more convenient place i.e. after the vectors high
page, more towards the end of address space. Previous location (0xe000_0000)
caused grief if KVA was to go beyond the default limit.
Note that ARM world rebuilding is required after this change since the
location of ARM_TP_ADDRESS is shared between kernel and userland.

ARM_TP_ADDRESS, where the tp will be stored. On CPUs that support it, a cache
line will be allocated and locked for this address, so that it will never go
to RAM. On CPUs that does not, a page is allocated for it (it will be a bit
slower, and is wrong for SMP, but should be fine for UP).
The tp is still stored in the mdthread struct, and at each context switch,
ARM_TP_ADDRESS gets updated.
