The attempt to run the CPU reset code as soon as possible after reset results in highly complex conditional code relating to the RESET_TO_BL31 option. This patch relaxes this requirement a little. In the BL1, BL3-1 and PSCI entrypoints code, the sequence of operations is now as follows: 1) Detect whether it is a cold or warm boot; 2) For cold boot, detect whether it is the primary or a secondary CPU. This is needed to handle multiple CPUs entering cold reset simultaneously; 3) Run the CPU init code. This patch also abstracts the EL3 registers initialisation done by the BL1, BL3-1 and PSCI entrypoints into common code. This improves code re-use and consolidates the code flows for different types of systems. NOTE: THE FUNCTION plat_secondary_cold_boot() IS NOW EXPECTED TO NEVER RETURN. THIS PATCH FORCES PLATFORM PORTS THAT RELIED ON THE FORMER RETRY LOOP AT THE CALL SITE TO MODIFY THEIR IMPLEMENTATION. OTHERWISE, SECONDARY CPUS WILL PANIC.
