A prerequisite for using virtualization is to be in HYP mode, which
requires the CPU to be in non-secure state first.
Add a new file in arch/arm/cpu/armv7 to hold a monitor handler routine
which switches the CPU to non-secure state by setting the NS and
associated bits.
According to the ARM architecture reference manual this should not be
done in SVC mode, so we have to setup a SMC handler for this.
We create a new vector table to avoid interference with other boards.
The MVBAR register will be programmed later just before the smc call.

Could you explain why the last line is needed?

I guess I cannot explain because it's probably not needed ;-)
I copied this from somewhere else and accidentally this padding somehow 
sneaked in (from the actual addresses array, where the start vector was 
missing and thus the array ended at 7 * 4 bytes)

Do we need another version or is a follow-up patch sufficient?
I'd like to avoid another review round for the sake of the reviewers.

Thanks for spotting this,
Andre.

Lets do a follow-up and Albert can squash it if desired.
