xen/arm: Add workaround for Cortex-A53 erratum #843419
On the Cortex A53, when executing in AArch64 state, a load or store
instruction
which uses the result of an ADRP instruction as a base register, or which
uses
a base register written by an instruction immediately after an ADRP to the
same register, might access an incorrect address.
The workaround is to enable the linker flag --fix-cortex-a53-843419
if present, to check and fix the affected sequence. Otherwise print a
warning
that Xen may be susceptible to this errata
