In order to prevent memory corruption issues caused by the fact that,
under virtualization, the guest is incoherent with the hypervisor's view
of memory until it enables its caches and MMU, this patch reshuffles the
init sequence so that the Xen shared memory regions are not touched
before the caches and MMU are enabled.
In addition, the loaded image itself is invalidated by virtual address,
to ensure that any runtime changes (such as the applied relocations) will
not suddenly become invisible once we turn the caches on.

This patch introduces a relocatable PrePi, which can execute
from arbitrary offsets in RAM. This is intendend to be run
from a boot loader which passes a description of the actual
platform in a device tree, for instance.
This module is based on the PrePi implementations residing under
ArmPlatformPkg.
