Since 4.18-rc1 kernel the following warning is seen on i.MX51 and
i.MX53:
    
CPU0: Spectre v2: firmware did not set auxiliary control register IBE bit, system vulnerable
    
Implement the suggested workaround by setting the IBE bit in the
auxiliary control register, which allows the kernel to flush the
BTB properly.

Based on commit 7b37a9c732bf ("ARM: Introduce ability to enable ACR::IBE
on Cortex-A8 for CVE-2017-5715") from U-Boot.
    
With this patch applied the kernel now reports:
    
CPU0: Spectre v2: using BPIALL workaround

Tested on a imx51 babbage.
