[RFC v3 24/24] hw/arm/boot: Skip bootloader for confidential guests

[Mathieu Poirier <mathieu.poirier@linaro.org>]

From: Jean-Philippe Brucker <jean-philippe@linaro.org>

An independent verifier needs to reconstruct the content of guest memory
in order to attest that it is running trusted code. To avoid having to
reconstruct the bootloader generated by QEMU, skip this step and jump
directly to the kernel, with the DTB address in x0 as specified by the
Linux boot protocol [1].
