Neoverse N1 erratum 1315703 is a Cat A (rare) erratum [1], present in
older revisions of the Neoverse N1 processor core.
The workaround is to set a bit in the implementation defined CPUACTLR2_EL1
system register, which will disable the load-bypass-store feature.

This patch forces all cacheable atomic instructions to be near, which
improves performance in highly contended parallelized use-cases.

Enforce full include path for includes. Deprecate old paths.

The following folders inside include/lib have been left unchanged:

- include/lib/cpus/${ARCH}
- include/lib/el3_runtime/${ARCH}

The reason for this change is that having a global namespace for
includes isn't a good idea. It defeats one of the advantages of having
folders and it introduces problems that are sometimes subtle (because
you may not know the header you are actually including if there are two
of them).

For example, this patch had to be created because two headers were
called the same way: e0ea0928 ("Fix gpio includes of mt8173 platform
to avoid collision."). More recently, this patch has had similar
problems: 46f9b2c3 ("drivers: add tzc380 support").

This problem was introduced in commit 4ecca339

 ("Move include and
source files to logical locations"). At that time, there weren't too
many headers so it wasn't a real issue. However, time has shown that
this creates problems.

Platforms that want to preserve the way they include headers may add the
removed paths to PLAT_INCLUDES, but this is discouraged.

The workaround uses the instruction patching feature of the Ares cpu.

Both Cortex-Ares and Cortex-A76 CPUs use the ARM DynamIQ Shared Unit
(DSU).  The power-down and power-up sequences are therefore mostly
managed in hardware, and required software operations are simple.
