[PATCH v5 5/7] xen/arm: arm64: Add Cortex-A53 cache errata workaround

[Julien Grall <julien.grall@arm.com>]

The ARM errata 819472, 827319 and 824069 define the same workaround for
these hardware issues in certain Cortex-A53 parts.

The cache instructions "dc cvac" and "dc cvau" need to be upgraded to
"dc civac".

Use the alternative framework to replace those instructions only on
affected cores.

Whilst the errata affect cache instructions issued at any exception
level, it is not necessary to trap EL1/EL0 data cache instructions
access in order to upgrade them. Indeed the data cache corruption would
always be at the address used by the data cache instructions. Note that
this address could point to a shared memory between guests and the
hypervisors, however all the information present in it are be validated
before any use.

Therefore a malicious guest could only hurt itself. Note that all the
guests should implement/enable the workaround for the affected cores.
