The translation tables allocated for the Secure Partition do not need
to be treated as a special case. They can be put amongst the other
tables mapping BL31's general purpose memory. They will be mapped with
the same attributes as them, which is fine.

The explicit alignment constraint in BL31's linker script to pad the
last page of memory allocated to the Secure Partition's translation
tables is useless too, as page tables are per se pages, thus their
end address is naturally aligned on a page-boundary.

In fact, this patch does not change the existing behaviour. Since
patch 22282bb6

 ("SPM: Move all SP-related info to SP context
struct"), the secure_partition.c file has been renamed into sp_xlat.c
but the linker script has not been properly updated. As a result, the
SP translation tables are not specifically put at the start of the
xlat_table linker section, the __SP_IMAGE_XLAT_TABLES_START__/_END__
symbols have the same value, the size of the resulting mmap_region
covering these xlat tables is 0 and so it is ignored.
