ARM: spectre-v2: add Cortex A8 and A15 validation of the IBE bit
When the branch predictor hardening is enabled, firmware must have set the IBE bit in the auxiliary control register. If this bit has not been set, the Spectre workarounds will not be functional. Add validation that this bit is set, and print a warning at alert level if this is not the case.
