In AArch64, privileged exception levels control the execution state
(a.k.a. register width) of the immediate lower Exception Level; i.e.
whether the lower exception level executes in AArch64 or AArch32 state.
For an exception level to have its execution state changed at run time,
it must request the change by raising a synchronous exception to the
higher exception level.

This patch implements and adds such a provision to the ARM SiP service,
by which an immediate lower exception level can request to switch its
execution state. The execution state is switched if the request is:

  - raised from non-secure world;

  - raised on the primary CPU, before any secondaries are brought online
    with CPU_ON PSCI call;

  - raised from an exception level immediately below EL3: EL2, if
    implemented; otherwise NS EL1.

If successful, the SMC doesn't return to the caller, but to the entry
point supplied with the call. Otherwise, the caller will observe the SMC
returning with STATE_SW_E_DENIED code. If ARM Trusted Firmware is built
for AArch32, the feature is not supported, and the call will always
fail.

For the ARM SiP service:

  - Add SMC function IDs for both AArch32 and AArch64;
  - Increment the SiP service minor version to 2;
  - Adjust the number of supported SiP service calls.

Add documentation for ARM SiP service.

Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#436

Many asserts depend on code that is conditionally compiled based on the
DEBUG define. This patch modifies the conditional inclusion of such code
so that it is based on the ENABLE_ASSERTIONS build option.

This patch re-factors the following headers to make it easier to
integrate the PSCI library with an AArch32 Secure Payload :

  *  bl_common.h : The entry point information and the param
     header data structures are factored out into separate
     headers ep_info.h and param_headers.h
  *  psci.h : The PSCI library interfaces are factored out
     into the new header psci_lib.h
  *  context_mgmt.h : The header file is modified to not include
     arch.h when compiled for AArch32 mode.

No functional changes are introduced by this patch.

In order to quantify the overall time spent in the PSCI software
implementation, an initial collection of PMF instrumentation points
has been added.

Instrumentation has been added to the following code paths:

- Entry to PSCI SMC handler.  The timestamp is captured as early
  as possible during the runtime exception and stored in memory
  before entering the PSCI SMC handler.

- Exit from PSCI SMC handler.  The timestamp is captured after
  normal return from the PSCI SMC handler or if a low power state
  was requested it is captured in the bl31 warm boot path before
  return to normal world.

- Entry to low power state.  The timestamp is captured before entry
  to a low power state which implies either standby or power down.
  As these power states are mutually exclusive, only one timestamp
  is defined to describe both.  It is possible to differentiate between
  the two power states using the PSCI STAT interface.

- Exit from low power state.  The timestamp is captured after a standby
  or power up operation has completed.

To calculate the number of cycles spent running code in Trusted Firmware
one can perform the following calculation:

(exit_psci - enter_psci) - (exit_low_pwr - enter_low_pwr).

The resulting number of cycles can be converted to time given the
frequency of the counter.

This patch adds generic changes in BL1 to support AArch32 state.
New AArch32 specific assembly/C files are introduced and
some files are moved to AArch32/64 specific folders.
BL1 for AArch64 is refactored but functionally identical.
BL1 executes in Secure Monitor mode in AArch32 state.

NOTE: BL1 in AArch32 state ONLY handles BL1_RUN_IMAGE SMC.

This patch adds AArch32 support to cpu ops, context management,
per-cpu data and spinlock libraries. The `entrypoint_info`
structure is modified to add support for AArch32 register
arguments. The CPU operations for AEM generic cpu in AArch32
mode is also added.

This patch moves the PSCI services and BL31 frameworks like context
management and per-cpu data into new library components `PSCI` and
`el3_runtime` respectively. This enables PSCI to be built independently from
BL31. A new `psci_lib.mk` makefile is introduced which adds the relevant
PSCI library sources and gets included by `bl31.mk`. Other changes which
are done as part of this patch are:

* The runtime services framework is now moved to the `common/` folder to
  enable reuse.
* The `asm_macros.S` and `assert_macros.S` helpers are moved to architecture
  specific folder.
* The `plat_psci_common.c` is moved from the `plat/common/aarch64/` folder
  to `plat/common` folder. The original file location now has a stub which
  just includes the file from new location to maintain platform compatibility.

Most of the changes wouldn't affect platform builds as they just involve
changes to the generic bl1.mk and bl31.mk makefiles.

NOTE: THE `plat_psci_common.c` FILE HAS MOVED LOCATION AND THE STUB FILE AT
THE ORIGINAL LOCATION IS NOW DEPRECATED. PLATFORMS SHOULD MODIFY THEIR
MAKEFILES TO INCLUDE THE FILE FROM THE NEW LOCATION.
