ARM Linux appears to have never been made aware of the ARMv7 security
extensions. When CONFIG_ARM_SEC_EXT=y, have it probe for its security
state by checking whether CNTFRQ is writeable and potentially make
mode changes based on the information. The most features are available
from hypervisor (HYP) mode, so switch to it possible. Failing that,
prefer non-secure supervisor (SVC) mode to secure supervisor mode.
