There are ARM systems which are essentially heterogeneous multicores where
some cores implement a different ARM architecture version than other cores. A
specific example is the tegra124 which boots on an ARMv4 coprocessor while
most code, including most of the firmware, runs on the main ARMv7 core. To
support SOCs like this, the plan is to generalize the ARM architecture so that
all versions are available, and an SOC/CPU can then select what architecture
variant should be used for each component of the firmware; bootblock,
romstage, and ramstage.

ARM: Split out ARMv7 code and make it possible to have other arch versions.
We don't always want to use ARMv7 code when building for ARM, so we should
separate out the ARMv7 code so it can be excluded, and also make it possible
to include code for some other version of the architecture instead, all per
build component for cases where we need more than one architecture version
at a time.
The tegra124 bootblock will ultimately need to be ARMv4, but until we have
some ARMv4 code to switch over to we can leave it set to ARMv7.

ARM support and ARMv7 specific pieces.

On ARMv7 we need to carefully add memory barriers to
all memory read and write operations. This change
brings libpayload in sync with what coreboot is doing.

The compiler gets mad when the types are equivalent size but not necessarily
interchangeable because of strict aliasing checks. Since uint32_t is likely to
be used when trying to read 32 bit data, it makes sense for them to be the
compatible.
