Linux stopped the use of keyword 'boolean' in Kconfig.
Refer to commit 6341e62b212a2541efb0160c470e90bd226d5496 ("kconfig:
use bool instead of boolean for type definition attributes")
in Linux Kernel.

There are two enable methods supported by ARM64 Linux; psci and
spin-table. The latter is simpler and helpful for quick SoC bring
up. My main motivation for this patch is to improve the spin-table
support, which allows us to boot an ARMv8 system without the ARM
Trusted Firmware.
Currently, we have multi-entry code in arch/arm/cpu/armv8/start.S
and the spin-table is supported in a really ad-hoc way, and I see
some problems:
- We must hard-code CPU_RELEASE_ADDR so that it matches the
"cpu-release-addr" property in the DT that comes from the
kernel tree.
- The Documentation/arm64/booting.txt in Linux requires that
the release address must be zero-initialized, but it is not
cared by the common code in U-Boot. We must do it in a board
function.
- There is no systematic way to protect the spin-table code from
the kernel. We are supposed to do it in a board specific manner,
but it is difficult to predict where the spin-table code will be
located after the relocation. So, it also makes difficult to
hard-code /memreserve/ in the DT of the kernel.
So, here is a patch to solve those problems; the DT is run-time
modified to reserve the spin-table code (+ cpu-release-addr).
Also, the "cpu-release-addr" property is set to an appropriate
address after the relocation, which means we no longer need the
hard-coded CPU_RELEASE_ADDR.

Correct spelling of "U-Boot" shall be used in all written text
(documentation, comments in source files etc.).

While the Freescale ARMv8 board LS2085A will enter U-Boot both
on a master and a secondary (slave) CPU, this is not the common
behaviour on ARMv8 platforms. The norm is that U-Boot is entered
from the master CPU only, while the other CPUs are kept in
WFI (wait for interrupt) state.
The code determining which CPU we are running on is using the
MPIDR register, but the definition of that register varies with
platform to some extent, and handling multi-cluster platforms
(such as the Juno) will become cumbersome. It is better to only
enable the multiple entry code on machines that actually need
it and disable it by default.
Make the single entry default and add a special
ARMV8_MULTIENTRY KConfig option to be used by the
platforms that need multientry and set it for the LS2085A.
Delete all use of the CPU_RELEASE_ADDR from the Vexpress64
boards as it is just totally unused and misleading, and
make it conditional in the generic start.S code.
This makes the Juno platform start U-Boot properly.

Commit 2e07c249a67e (kconfig: arm: introduce symbol for ARM CPUs)
collected the default values of CONFIG_SYS_CPU into arch/arm/Kconfig.
This commit moves "armv8" to there for consistency.
