Most registers are 64-bit wide, even in AArch32 mode:

- MAIR_ELx is equivalent to MAIR0 and MAIR1.
- TTBR is 64 bit in both AArch64 and AArch32.

The only difference is the TCR register, which is 32 bit in AArch32 and
in EL3 in AArch64. For consistency with the rest of ELs in AArch64, it
makes sense to also have it as a 64-bit value.

The Exception Level is now detected at runtime. This means that it is not
needed to hardcode the EL used by each image.

This doesn't result in a substantial increase of the image size because
the initialization functions that aren't used are garbage-collected by
the linker.

In AArch32 the current EL has been changed from EL3 to EL1 because the
the AArch32 PL1&0 translation regime behaves more like the AArch64 EL1&0
translation regime than the EL3 one.

Instead of having one big file with all the code, it's better to have
a few smaller files that are more manageable:

- xlat_tables_core.c: Code related to the core functionality of the
  library (map and unmap regions, initialize xlat context).
- xlat_tables_context.c: Instantiation of the active image context
  as well as APIs to manipulate it.
- xlat_tables_utils.c: Helper code that isn't part of the core
  functionality (change attributes, debug print messages).

At present, the function provided by the translation library to enable
MMU constructs appropriate values for translation library, and programs
them to the right registers. The construction of initial values,
however, is only required once as both the primary and secondaries
program the same values.

Additionally, the MMU-enabling function is written in C, which means
there's an active stack at the time of enabling MMU. On some systems,
like Arm DynamIQ, having active stack while enabling MMU during warm
boot might lead to coherency problems.

This patch addresses both the above problems by:

  - Splitting the MMU-enabling function into two: one that sets up
    values to be programmed into the registers, and another one that
    takes the pre-computed values and writes to the appropriate
    registers. With this, the primary effectively calls both functions
    to have the MMU enabled, but secondaries only need to call the
    latter.

  - Rewriting the function that enables MMU in assembly so that it
    doesn't use stack.

This patch fixes a bunch of MISRA issues on the way.

This patch enables BL2 to execute at the highest exception level
without any dependancy on TF BL1. This enables platforms which already
have a non-TF Boot ROM to directly load and execute BL2 and subsequent BL
stages without need for BL1.  This is not currently possible because
BL2 executes at S-EL1 and cannot jump straight to EL3.

A new platform define, `PLAT_SP_IMAGE_XLAT_SECTION_NAME`, has been
introduced to select the section where the translation tables used by
the S-EL1/S-EL0 are placed.

This define has been used to move the translation tables to DRAM secured
by TrustZone.

Most of the extra needed space in BL31 when SPM is enabled is due to the
large size of the translation tables. By moving them to this memory
region we can save 44 KiB.

A new argument has been added to REGISTER_XLAT_CONTEXT2() to specify the
region where the translation tables have to be placed by the linker.

These macros are only defined for corresponding image,
and they are undefined for other images. It means that we have
to use ifdef or defined() instead of relying on being 0 by default.

Previously, in AArch32, `IMAGE_XLAT_DEFAULT_REGIME` wasn't defined. The
translation regime is only used in the AArch64 port of the translation
tables library v2, so this is not a problem for now, but future patches
will use it.

`IMAGE_EL` isn't used in AArch32, so it isn't needed to define it.

This patch introduces the ability of the xlat tables library to manage
EL0 and EL1 mappings from a higher exception level.

Attributes MT_USER and MT_PRIVILEGED have been added to allow the user
specify the target EL in the translation regime EL1&0.

REGISTER_XLAT_CONTEXT2 macro is introduced to allow creating a
xlat_ctx_t that targets a given translation regime (EL1&0 or EL3).

A new member is added to xlat_ctx_t to represent the translation regime
the xlat_ctx_t manages. The execute_never mask member is removed as it
is computed from existing information.

The current implementation of the memory mapping API favours mapping
memory regions using the biggest possible block size in order to
reduce the number of translation tables needed.

In some cases, this behaviour might not be desirable. When translation
tables are edited at run-time, coarse-grain mappings like that might
need splitting into finer-grain tables. This operation has a
performance cost.

The MAP_REGION2() macro allows to specify the granularity of
translation tables used for the initial mapping of a memory region.
This might increase performance for memory regions that are likely to
be edited in the future, at the expense of a potentially increased
memory footprint.

The Translation Tables Library Design Guide has been updated to
explain the use case for this macro. Also added a few intermediate
titles to make the guide easier to digest.

At the moment, the translation context type (xlat_ctx_t) is a private
type reserved for the internal usage of the translation table library.
All exported APIs (implemented in xlat_tables_common.c) are wrappers
over the internal implementations that use such a translation context.

These wrappers unconditionally pass the current translation context
representing the memory mappings of the executing BL image. This means
that the caller has no control over which translation context the
library functions act on.

As a first step to make this code more flexible, this patch exports
the 'xlat_ctx_t' type. Note that, although the declaration of this type
is now public, its definition stays private. A macro is introduced to
statically allocate and initialize such a translation context.

The library now internally uses this macro to allocate the default
translation context for the running BL image.
