    Emphasize that TF only supports 4 KB granule size · de3d704d

    At the moment, various parts of the Trusted Firmware code assume
    that the granule size used is 4 KB. For example, the linker scripts
    enforce 4 KB alignment restrictions on some sections.
    
    However, the ARMv8-A architecture allows 16 KB and 64 KB granule
    sizes as well. Some other parts of the TF code, particularly the
    architectural code and definitions, have been implemented with
    this in mind and cater for all 3 cases.
    
    This discrepancy creates some confusion as to what is effectively
    supported in TF. This patch adds some code comments and clarification
    in the documentation to make this limitation clearer.
