f35a92053b arm64: record boot mode when entering the kernel
To be able to signal the availability of EL2 to other parts of
the kernel, record the boot mode.

Once booted, two predicates indicate if HYP mode is available,
and if not, whether this is due to a boot mode mismatch or not.

1f75ff0a3d arm64: generic timer: use virtual counter instead of physical at EL0
We want to use the virtual counter at EL0, as the physical counter
may not track the current clocksource for guests running under a
hypervisor.

This patch updates the vdso and generic timer driver to use the virtual
counter. The kernel EL2 entry code is also updated to ensure that the
virtual offset is initialised to zero.

9703d9d7f7 arm64: Kernel booting and initialisation
The patch adds the kernel booting and the initial setup code.
Documentation/arm64/booting.txt describes the booting protocol on the
AArch64 Linux kernel. This is subject to change following the work on
boot standardisation, ACPI.
