This patchset adds functionality for enabling the ARM CPU security extensions. At this time, the only machines supported are Versatile Express and the QEMU ARM virtual machines both with Cortex A9 & A15.
The patchset establishes the default security state along with adding overriding controls of the state. Booting with the "-kernel" QEMU command line option will start by default in non-secure state with EL3 support disabled. Booting with the "-bios" QEMU command line option will default to secure state with EL3 features enabled. An added "secure" machine property may be set to either 'on' or 'off' to override this default behavior. For example, the below command line syntax would enable security extensions... aarch64-softmmu/qemu-system-aarch64 -machine type=vexpress-a15,secure=on -kernel ... In order to add the machine specific 'secure' property, the vexpress machine object creation functionality needed to be updated. The existing QEMU machine mechanism was replaced with proper type, class, and instance usage.
