    AArch64: Introduce External Abort handling · 76454abf

    At present, any External Abort routed to EL3 is reported as an unhandled
    exception and cause a panic. This patch enables ARM Trusted Firmware to
    handle External Aborts routed to EL3.
    
    With this patch, when an External Abort is received at EL3, its handling
    is delegated to plat_ea_handler() function. Platforms can provide their
    own implementation of this function. This patch adds a weak definition
    of the said function that prints out a message and just panics.
    
    In order to support handling External Aborts at EL3, the build option
    HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST must be set to 1.
    
    Before this patch, HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST wasn't passed down to
    compilation; this patch fixes that too.
