ARM: bL_switcher: add a simple /dev user interface for debugging purposes

Only the basic call to aid debugging.

*** NOT FOR PRODUCTION ***

Usage:

	echo <cpuid>,<clusterid> > /dev/b.L_switcher

where <cpuid> is the logical CPU number, and <clusterid> is 0 for the
first cluster and 1 for the second cluster.
