This patch optimizes the data structure used with the bakery lock
implementation for coherent memory to save memory and minimize memory
accesses. These optimizations were already part of the bakery lock
implementation for normal memory and this patch now implements
it for the coherent memory implementation as well. Also
included in the patch is a cleanup to use the do-while loop while
waiting for other contenders to finish choosing their tickets.

This patch moves the bakery locks out of coherent memory to normal memory.
This implies that the lock information needs to be placed on a separate cache
line for each cpu. Hence the bakery_lock_info_t structure is allocated in the
per-cpu data so as to minimize memory wastage. A similar platform per-cpu
data is introduced for the platform locks.

As a result of the above changes, the bakery lock api is completely changed.
Earlier, a reference to the lock structure was passed to the lock implementation.
Now a unique-id (essentially an index into the per-cpu data array) and an offset
into the per-cpu data for bakery_info_t needs to be passed to the lock
implementation.

The bakery lock code currently expects the calling code to pass
the MPIDR_EL1 of the current CPU.

This is not always done correctly. Also the change to provide
inline access to system registers makes it more efficient for the
bakery lock code to obtain the MPIDR_EL1 directly.

This change removes the mpidr parameter from the bakery lock
interface, and results in a code reduction of 160 bytes for the
ARM FVP port.

Previously, platform.h contained many declarations and definitions
used for different purposes. This file has been split so that:

* Platform definitions used by common code that must be defined
  by the platform are now in platform_def.h. The exact include
  path is exported through $PLAT_INCLUDES in the platform makefile.

* Platform definitions specific to the FVP platform are now in
  /plat/fvp/fvp_def.h.

* Platform API declarations specific to the FVP platform are now
  in /plat/fvp/fvp_private.h.

* The remaining platform API declarations that must be ported by
  each platform are still in platform.h but this file has been
  moved to /include/plat/common since this can be shared by all
  platforms.

Reduce the number of header files included from other header
files as much as possible without splitting the files. Use forward
declarations where possible. This allows removal of some unnecessary
"#ifndef __ASSEMBLY__" statements.

Also, review the .c and .S files for which header files really need
including and reorder the #include statements alphabetically.

Add tag names to all unnamed structs in header files. This
allows forward declaration of structs, which is necessary to
reduce header file nesting (to be implemented in a subsequent
commit).

Also change the typedef names across the codebase to use the _t
suffix to be more conformant with the Linux coding style. The
coding style actually prefers us not to use typedefs at all but
this is considered a step too far for Trusted Firmware.

Also change the IO framework structs defintions to use typedef'd
structs to be consistent with the rest of the codebase.

Move almost all system include files to a logical sub-directory
under ./include. The only remaining system include directories
not under ./include are specific to the platform. Move the
corresponding source files to match the include directory
structure.

Also remove pm.h as it is no longer used.

Current implementation of Bakery Lock does tight-loop waiting upon lock
contention.

This commit reworks the implementation to use WFE instruction for
waiting, and SEV to signal lock availability. It also adds the rationale
for choosing Bakery Locks instead of exclusion primitives, and more
comments for the lock algorithm.

bakery_lock_release() expects an mpidr as the first argument however
bakery_lock_release() is calling it with the 'entry' argument it has
calculated. Rather than fixing this to pass the mpidr value it would be
much more efficient to just replace the call with

   assert(bakery->owner == entry)

As this leaves no remaining users of bakery_lock_held(), we might as
well delete it.
