    bl31: Split into two separate memory regions · f8578e64

    Some platforms are extremely memory constrained and must split BL31
    between multiple non-contiguous areas in SRAM. Allow the NOBITS
    sections (.bss, stacks, page tables, and coherent memory) to be placed
    in a separate region of RAM from the loaded firmware image.
    
    Because the NOBITS region may be at a lower address than the rest of
    BL31, __RW_{START,END}__ and __BL31_{START,END}__ cannot include this
    region, or el3_entrypoint_common would attempt to invalidate the dcache
    for the entire address space. New symbols __NOBITS_{START,END}__ are
    added when SEPARATE_NOBITS_REGION is enabled, and the dcached for the
    NOBITS region is invalidated separately.
