454179: Stale prediction may inhibit target address misprediction on
next predicted taken branch
Impacts: Every Cortex-A8 processors with revision lower than r2p1
Work around: Set IBE and disable branch size mispredict to 1
Also provide a hook for SoC specific handling to take place if needed.

Add workaround for Cortex-A15 ARM erratum 798870 which says
"If back-to-back speculative cache line fills (fill A and fill B) are
issued from the L1 data cache of a CPU to the L2 cache, the second
request (fill B) is then cancelled, and the second request would have
detected a hazard against a recent write or eviction (write B) to the
same cache line as fill B then the L2 logic might deadlock."
Implementations for SoC families such as Exynos, OMAP5/DRA7 etc
will be widely different.
Every SoC has slightly different manner of setting up access to L2ACLR
and similar registers since the Secure Monitor handling of Secure
Monitor Call(smc) is diverse. Hence an weak function is introduced
which may be overriden to implement SoC specific accessor implementation.
