Neoverse N1 erratum 1275112 is a Cat B erratum [1],
present in older revisions of the Neoverse N1 processor core.
The workaround is to set a bit in the implementation defined
CPUACTLR_EL1 system register, which delays instruction fetch after
branch misprediction.

workaround is disabled by default and have to be explicitly enabled by
the platform integrator.

These are no longer needed as there will always be a table of contents
rendered to the left of every page.

Some of these lists can be quite long and, when opening a page, the
reader sees nothing but a huge list of contents! After this patch,
the document contents are front-and-centre and the contents are
nicely rendered in the sidebar without duplication.

This change creates the following directories under docs/
in order to provide a grouping for the content:

- components
- design
- getting_started
- perf
- process

In each of these directories an index.rst file is created
and this serves as an index / landing page for each of the
groups when the pages are compiled. Proper layout of the
top-level table of contents relies on this directory/index
structure.

Without this patch it is possible to build the documents
correctly with Sphinx but the output looks messy because
there is no overall hierarchy.

Under certain near idle conditions, DSU may miss response transfers on
the ACE master or Peripheral port, leading to deadlock. This workaround
disables high-level clock gating of the DSU to prevent this.

Under specific conditions, the processor might issue an eviction and an
L2 cache clean operation to the interconnect in the wrong order. Set
the CPUACTLR.ENDCCASCI bit to 1 to avoid this.

On Cortex A9 an errata can cause the processor to violate the rules for
speculative fetches when the MMU is off but branch prediction has not
been disabled. The workaround for this is to execute an Invalidate
Entire Branch Prediction Array (BPIALL) followed by a DSB.

This erratum can only be worked around on revisions >= r3p0 because the
register that needs to be accessed only exists in those revisions[1].

The workarounds for these errata are so closely related that it is
better to only have one patch to make it easier to understand.
