    ARM platforms: Move BL31 below BL2 to enable BL2 overlay · c099cd39

    The patch changes the layout of BL images in memory to enable
    more efficient use of available space. Previously BL31 was loaded
    with the expectation that BL2 memory would be reclaimed by BL32
    loaded in SRAM. But with increasing memory requirements in the
    firmware, we can no longer fit BL32 in SRAM anymore which means the
    BL2 memory is not reclaimed by any runtime image. Positioning BL2
    below BL1-RW and above BL31 means that the BL31 NOBITS can be
    overlaid on BL2 and BL1-RW.
    
    This patch also propogates the same memory layout to BL32 for AArch32
    mode. The reset addresses for the following configurations are also
    changed :
       * When RESET_TO_SP_MIN=1 for BL32 in AArch32 mode
       * When BL2_AT_EL3=1 for BL2
    
    The restriction on BL31 to be only in DRAM when SPM is enabled
    is now removed with this change. The update to the firmware design
    guide for the BL memory layout is done in the following patch.
