The LDNP/STNP instructions as implemented on Cortex-A53 and
Cortex-A57 do not behave in a way most programmers expect, and will
most probably result in a significant speed degradation to any code
that employs them. The ARMv8-A architecture (see Document ARM DDI
0487A.h, section D3.4.3) allows cores to ignore the non-temporal hint
and treat LDNP/STNP as LDP/STP instead.

This patch introduces 2 new build flags:
A53_DISABLE_NON_TEMPORAL_HINT and A57_DISABLE_NON_TEMPORAL_HINT
to enforce this behaviour on Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57. They are
enabled by default.

The string printed in debug builds when a specific CPU errata
workaround is compiled in but skipped at runtime has been
generalised, so that it can be reused for the non-temporal hint use
case as well.

This patch optimizes the Cortex-A57 cluster power down sequence by not
flushing the Level1 data cache. The L1 data cache and the L2 unified
cache are inclusive. A flush of the L2 by set/way flushes any dirty
lines from the L1 as well. This is a known safe deviation from the
Cortex-A57 TRM defined power down sequence. This optimization can be
enabled by the platform through the 'SKIP_A57_L1_FLUSH_PWR_DWN' build
flag. Each Cortex-A57 based platform must make its own decision on
whether to use the optimization.

This patch also renames the cpu-errata-workarounds.md to
cpu-specific-build-macros.md as this facilitates documentation
of both CPU Specific errata and CPU Specific Optimization
build macros.

This patch adds workarounds for selected errata which affect the Cortex-A57 r0p0
part. Each workaround has a build time flag which should be used by the platform
port to enable or disable the corresponding workaround. The workarounds are
disabled by default. An assertion is raised if the platform enables a workaround
which does not match the CPU revision at runtime.

At present the fip.bin depends on phony targets for BL images, resulting
in unconditional remake of fip.bin. Also the build messages doesn't
match with the rest of build system.

This patch modifies the fip.bin dependencies to the actual BL binary
images so that fip.bin is remade only when the component images are
rebuilt/modified. The build messages and FIP Makefile are modified to
match the style of rest of the build system.

This tool can be used to create a Firmware Image Packages (FIP). These
FIPs store a combined set of firmware images with a Table of Contents
(ToC) that can be loaded by the firmware from platform storage.

- Add uuid.h from FreeBSD.
- Use symbolic links to shared headers otherwise unwanted headers and
  definitions are pulled in.
- A FIP is created as part of the default FVP build.
- A BL3-3 image(e.g. UEFI) must be provided.

Tidy up the spacing of variable definitions within the makefiles to make
them more consistent, easier to read and amend.

Move all explicit platform or architecture specific references
into a new platform.mk file that is defined for each platform.

- This change is split into two separate patches in order to
  simplify the history as interpreted by 'git'. The split is
  between the move/rename and addition of new files.
- Remove dependency on toolchain C library headers and functions in
  order to ensure behavioural compatibility between toolchains.
- Use FreeBSD as reference for C library implementation.
- Do not let GCC use default library include paths.
- Remove unused definitions in modified headers and implementations.
- Move C library files to 'lib/stdlib' and 'include/stdlib'.
- Break std.c functions out into separate files.
