While actually switching to non-secure state is one thing, the
more important part of this process is to make sure that we still
have full access to the interrupt controller (GIC).
The GIC is fully aware of secure vs. non-secure state, some
registers are banked, others may be configured to be accessible from
secure state only.
To be as generic as possible, we get the GIC memory mapped address
based on the PERIPHBASE register. We check explicitly for
ARM Cortex-A7 and A15 cores, assuming an A9 otherwise, as for those
cores we know the offsets for the GIC CPU interface from the
PERIPHBASE content. Other cores could be added as needed.

With the GIC accessible, we:
a) allow private interrupts to be delivered to the core
   (GICD_IGROUPR0 = 0xFFFFFFFF)
b) enable the CPU interface (GICC_CTLR[0] = 1)
c) set the priority filter to allow non-secure interrupts
   (GICC_PMR = 0x80)

After having switched to non-secure state, we also enable the
non-secure GIC CPU interface, since this register is banked.

Also we allow access to all coprocessor interfaces from non-secure
state by writing the appropriate bits in the NSACR register.

For reasons obvious later we only use caller saved registers r0-r3.
