This patch set converts the Raspberry Pi 2 system to properly make use of
the caches available in it.

Because we're running in HYP mode, we first need to teach U-Boot how to
make use of HYP registers and the LPAE page layout which is mandated by
hardware when running in HYP mode.

Then while we're at it, also mark the frame buffer cached to speed up
screen updates.

With this patch set, my Raspberry Pi 3 running in AArch32 mode is a *lot*
faster than without.

Please verify that the code works on a RPi2 as well. In theory it should,
but I only have a 3 to test on available here.
