Cortex A77 erratum 1946167 is a Cat B erratum that applies to revisions
<= r1p1. This erratum is avoided by inserting a DMB ST before acquire
atomic instructions without release semantics through a series of
writes to implementation defined system registers.

Cortex N1 erratum 1946160 is a Cat B erratum present in r0p0, r1p0,
r2p0, r3p0, r3p1, r4p0, and r4p1.  The workaround is to insert a DMB ST
before acquire atomic instructions without release semantics.  This
issue is present starting from r0p0 but this workaround applies to
revisions r3p0, r3p1, r4p0, and r4p1, for previous revisions there is no
workaround.

The TBBR documentation has been written along with an early
implementation of the code. At that time, the range of supported
encryption and hash algorithms was failry limited. Since then, support
for other algorithms has been added in TF-A but the documentation has
not been updated.

Instead of listing them all, which would clutter this document while
still leaving it at risk of going stale in the future, remove specific
references to the original algorithms and point the reader at the
relevant comprehensive document for further details.

The CPUACTLR_EL1 register on Cortex-A57 CPUs supports a bit to enable
non-cacheable streaming enhancement. Platforms can set this bit only
if their memory system meets the requirement that cache line fill
requests from the Cortex-A57 processor are atomic.

This patch adds support to enable higher performance non-cacheable load
forwarding for such platforms. Platforms must enable this support by
setting the 'A57_ENABLE_NONCACHEABLE_LOAD_FWD' flag from their
makefiles. This flag is disabled by default.

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.
