During the warm boot sequence:

1. The MMU is enabled with the data cache disabled. The MMU table walker
   is set up to access the translation tables as in cacheable memory,
   but its accesses are non-cacheable because SCTLR_EL3.C controls them
   as well.
2. The interconnect is set up and the CPU enters coherency with the
   rest of the system.
3. The data cache is enabled.

If the support for dynamic translation tables is enabled and another CPU
makes changes to a region, the changes may only be present in the data
cache, not in RAM. The CPU that is booting isn't in coherency with the
rest of the system, so the table walker of that CPU isn't either. This
means that it may read old entries from RAM and it may have invalid TLB
entries corresponding to the dynamic mappings.

This is not a problem for the boot code because the mapping is 1:1 and
the regions are static. However, the code that runs after the boot
sequence may need to access the dynamically mapped regions.

This patch invalidates all TLBs during warm boot when the dynamic
translation tables support is enabled to prevent this problem.

Various CPU drivers in ARM Trusted Firmware register functions to handle
power-down operations. At present, separate functions are registered to
power down individual cores and clusters.

This scheme operates on the basis of core and cluster, and doesn't cater
for extending the hierarchy for power-down operations. For example,
future CPUs might support multiple threads which might need powering
down individually.

This patch therefore reworks the CPU operations framework to allow for
registering power down handlers on specific level basis. Henceforth:

  - Generic code invokes CPU power down operations by the level
    required.

  - CPU drivers explicitly mention CPU_NO_RESET_FUNC when the CPU has no
    reset function.

  - CPU drivers register power down handlers as a list: a mandatory
    handler for level 0, and optional handlers for higher levels.

All existing CPU drivers are adapted to the new CPU operations framework
without needing any functional changes within.

Also update firmware design guide.

The AArch32 Procedure call Standard mandates that the stack must be aligned
to 8 byte boundary at external interfaces. This patch does the required
changes.

This problem was detected when a crash was encountered in
`psci_print_power_domain_map()` while printing 64 bit values. Aligning
the stack to 8 byte boundary resolved the problem.

Fixes ARM-Software/tf-issues#437

There are many instances in ARM Trusted Firmware where control is
transferred to functions from which return isn't expected. Such jumps
are made using 'bl' instruction to provide the callee with the location
from which it was jumped to. Additionally, debuggers infer the caller by
examining where 'lr' register points to. If a 'bl' of the nature
described above falls at the end of an assembly function, 'lr' will be
left pointing to a location outside of the function range. This misleads
the debugger back trace.

This patch defines a 'no_ret' macro to be used when jumping to functions
from which return isn't expected. The macro ensures to use 'bl'
instruction for the jump, and also, for debug builds, places a 'nop'
instruction immediately thereafter (unless instructed otherwise) so as
to leave 'lr' pointing within the function range.

This patch adds AArch32 support to PSCI library, as follows :

* The `psci_helpers.S` is implemented for AArch32.

* AArch32 version of internal helper function `psci_get_ns_ep_info()` is
  defined.

* The PSCI Library is responsible for the Non Secure context initialization.
  Hence a library interface `psci_prepare_next_non_secure_ctx()` is introduced
  to enable EL3 runtime firmware to initialize the non secure context without
  invoking context management library APIs.
