    This patch uses the reworked exception handling support to handle
    runtime service requests through SMCs following the SMC calling
    convention. This is a giant commit since all the changes are
    inter-related. It does the following:
    
    1. Replace the old exception handling mechanism with the new one
    2. Enforce that SP_EL0 is used C runtime stacks.
    3. Ensures that the cold and warm boot paths use the 'cpu_context'
       structure to program an ERET into the next lower EL.
    4. Ensures that SP_EL3 always points to the next 'cpu_context'
       structure prior to an ERET into the next lower EL
    5. Introduces a PSCI SMC handler which completes the use of PSCI as a
       runtime service
