The communication protocol used between the AP cores and the SCP
in CSS-based platforms like Juno has undergone a number of changes.
This patch makes the required modifications to the SCP Boot Protocol,
SCPI Protocol and MHU driver code in shared CSS platform code so that
the AP cores are still able to communicate with the SCP.

This patch focuses on the mandatory changes to make it work. The
design of this code needs to be improved but this will come in
a subsequent patch.

The main changes are:

 - MHU communication protocol

   - The command ID and payload size are no longer written into the
     MHU registers directly. Instead, they are stored in the payload
     area. The MHU registers are now used only as a doorbell to kick
     off messages. Same goes for any command result, the AP has to
     pick it up from the payload area.

 - SCP Boot Protocol

   - The BL3-0 image is now expected to embed a checksum. This
     checksum must be passed to the SCP, which uses it to check the
     integrity of the image it received.

   - The BL3-0 image used to be transferred a block (4KB)
     at a time. The SCP now supports receiving up to 128KB at a
     time, which is more than the size of the BL3-0 image.
     Therefore, the image is now sent in one go.

   - The command IDs have changed.

 - SCPI Protocol

   - The size of the SCPI payload has been reduced down from 512
     bytes to 256 bytes. This changes the base address of the
     AP-to-SCP payload area.

   - For commands that have a response, the response is the same SCPI
     header that was sent, except for the size and the status, which
     both must be updated appropriately. Success/Failure of a command
     is determined by looking at the updated status code.

   - Some command IDs have changed.

NOTE: THIS PATCH BREAKS COMPATIBILITY WITH FORMER VERSIONS OF THE SCP
FIRMWARE AND THUS REQUIRES AN UPDATE OF THIS BINARY. THE LATEST SCP
BINARY CAN BE OBTAINED FROM THE ARM CONNECTED COMMUNITY WEBSITE.

This major change pulls out the common functionality from the
FVP and Juno platform ports into the following categories:

*   (include/)plat/common. Common platform porting functionality that
typically may be used by all platforms.

*   (include/)plat/arm/common. Common platform porting functionality
that may be used by all ARM standard platforms. This includes all
ARM development platforms like FVP and Juno but may also include
non-ARM-owned platforms.

*   (include/)plat/arm/board/common. Common platform porting
functionality for ARM development platforms at the board
(off SoC) level.

*   (include/)plat/arm/css/common. Common platform porting
functionality at the ARM Compute SubSystem (CSS) level. Juno
is an example of a CSS-based platform.

*   (include/)plat/arm/soc/common. Common platform porting
functionality at the ARM SoC level, which is not already defined
at the ARM CSS level.

No guarantees are made about the backward compatibility of
functionality provided in (include/)plat/arm.

Also remove any unnecessary variation between the ARM development
platform ports, including:

*   Unify the way BL2 passes `bl31_params_t` to BL3-1. Use the
Juno implementation, which copies the information from BL2 memory
instead of expecting it to persist in shared memory.

*   Unify the TZC configuration. There is no need to add a region
for SCP in Juno; it's enough to simply not allow any access to
this reserved region. Also set region 0 to provide no access by
default instead of assuming this is the case.

*   Unify the number of memory map regions required for ARM
development platforms, although the actual ranges mapped for each
platform may be different. For the FVP port, this reduces the
mapped peripheral address space.

These latter changes will only be observed when the platform ports
are migrated to use the new common platform code in subsequent
patches.

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.

This patch adds the initial port of the ARM Trusted Firmware on the Juno
development platform. This port does not support a BL3-2 image or any PSCI APIs
apart from PSCI_VERSION and PSCI_CPU_ON. It enables workarounds for selected
Cortex-A57 (#806969 & #813420) errata and implements the workaround for a Juno
platform errata (Defect id 831273).

This patch adds support for SYSTEM_OFF and SYSTEM_RESET PSCI
operations. A platform should export handlers to complete the
requested operation. The FVP port exports fvp_system_off() and
fvp_system_reset() as an example.

If the SPD provides a power management hook for system off and
system reset, then the SPD is notified about the corresponding
operation so it can do some bookkeeping. The TSPD exports
tspd_system_off() and tspd_system_reset() for that purpose.

Versatile Express shutdown and reset methods have been removed
from the FDT as new PSCI sys_poweroff and sys_reset services
have been added. For those kernels that do not support yet these
PSCI services (i.e. GICv3 kernel), the original dtsi files have
been renamed to *-no_psci.dtsi.

Changed the fvp_config array in fvp_common.c into a struct and
moved into a new optional common platform header,
include/plat/common/plat_config.h. Removed the config definitions
in fvp_def.h and updated all references to the platform config.

This makes the interface to the platform config cleaner and uses
a little less RAM.

This patch prepares the per-cpu pointer cache for wider use by:
* renaming the structure to cpu_data and placing in new header
* providing accessors for this CPU, or other CPUs
* splitting the initialization of the TPIDR pointer from the
  initialization of the cpu_data content
* moving the crash stack initialization to a crash stack function
* setting the TPIDR pointer very early during boot

Update code base to remove variables from the .data section,
mainly by using const static data where possible and adding
the const specifier as required. Most changes are to the IO
subsystem, including the framework APIs. The FVP power
management code is also affected.

Delay initialization of the global static variable,
next_image_type in bl31_main.c, until it is realy needed.
Doing this moves the variable from the .data to the .bss
section.

Also review the IO interface for inconsistencies, using
uintptr_t where possible instead of void *. Remove the
io_handle and io_dev_handle typedefs, which were
unnecessary, replacing instances with uintptr_t.

Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#107.

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.

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.

The Firmware Image Package (FIP) driver allows for data to be loaded
from a FIP on platform storage. The FVP supports loading bootloader
images from a FIP located in NOR FLASH.

The implemented FVP policy states that bootloader images will be
loaded from a FIP in NOR FLASH if available and fall back to loading
individual images from semi-hosting.

NOTE:
- BL3-3(e.g. UEFI) is loaded into DRAM and needs to be configured
  to run from the BL33_BASE address. This is currently set to
  DRAM_BASE+128MB for the FVP.

The modified implementation uses the IO abstraction rather than
making direct semi-hosting calls.  The semi-hosting driver is now
registered for the FVP platform during initialisation of each boot
stage where it is used.  Additionally, the FVP platform includes a
straightforward implementation of 'plat_get_image_source' which
provides a generic means for the 'load_image' function to determine
how to access the image data.

Ctags seem to have a problem with generating tags for assembler symbols
when a comment immediately follows an assembly label.

This patch inserts a single space character between the label
definition and the following comments to help ctags.

The patch is generated by the command:

  git ls-files -- \*.S | xargs sed -i 's/^\([^:]\+\):;/\1: ;/1'
