This patch updates the `firmware-design.rst` document for
changes in ARM-TF for supporting dynamic configuration features
as presented in `Secure Firmware BoF SFO'17`[1].

The patch also updates the user-guide for 2 build options for FVP
pertaining to dynamic config.

MISRA C-2012 Rule 7.3 violation: lowercase l shall not be used as literal suffixes.

This patch resolves this for the ULL() macro by using ULL suffix instead
of the ull suffix.

To make exception handling amongst Secure components, require that SDEI
exception priorities must be assigned the lowest among Secure
priorities. Clarify documentation to this effect.

The `bl1_init_bl2_mem_layout()` API is now deprecated. The default weak
implementation of `bl1_plat_handle_post_image_load()` calculates the
BL2 memory layout and populates the same in x1(r1). This ensures
compatibility for the deprecated API.

This patch adds an argument to bl1_plat_post/pre_image_load() APIs
to make it more future proof. The default implementation of
these are moved to `plat_bl1_common.c` file.

These APIs are now invoked appropriately in the FWU code path prior
to or post image loading by BL1 and are not restricted
to LOAD_IMAGE_V2.

The patch also reorganizes some common platform files. The previous
`plat_bl2_el3_common.c` and `platform_helpers_default.c` files are
merged into a new `plat_bl_common.c` file.

NOTE: The addition of an argument to the above mentioned platform APIs
is not expected to have a great impact because these APIs were only
recently added and are unlikely to be used.

Just like bl2_, add pre/post image load handlers for BL1.  No argument
is needed since BL2 is the only image loaded by BL1.

There are cases where we need to manipulate image information before
the load.  For example, for decompressing data, we cannot load the
compressed images to their final destination.  Instead, we need to
load them to the temporary buffer for the decompressor.

This patch expands the weak stubs for the plat_crash_console_xxx
functions in common platform code to use the new console API for crash
output. This should make crash console output "just work" for most cases
without the need for the platform to explicitly set up a crash console.
For cases where the normal console framework doesn't work (e.g. very
early crashes, before the platform can register any consoles), platforms
are still able to override the functions just like before.

This feature requires the MULTI_CONSOLE_API compile-time flag to work.
For builds which don't have it set, this patch has no practical effect.

A new platform macro `PLAT_AMU_GROUP1_COUNTERS_MASK` controls which
group 1 counters should be enabled. The maximum number of group 1
counters supported by AMUv1 is 16 so the mask can be at most 0xffff.
If the platform does not define this mask, no group 1 counters are
enabled.

A related platform macro `PLAT_AMU_GROUP1_NR_COUNTERS` is used by
generic code to allocate an array to save and restore the counters on
CPU suspend.

If boot redundancy is required in BL1 then the initialization
of the boot sequence must be done in bl1_platform_setup. In BL2,
we had to add a new function, bl2_preload_setup, because
bl2_platform_setup is called after the images are loaded, making it
invalid for the boot sequence initialization.

The implementation currently supports only interrupt-based SDEI events,
and supports all interfaces as defined by SDEI specification version
1.0 [1].

Introduce the build option SDEI_SUPPORT to include SDEI dispatcher in
BL31.

Update user guide and porting guide. SDEI documentation to follow.

Acknowledging interrupt shall return a raw value from the interrupt
controller in which the actual interrupt ID may be encoded. Add a
platform API to extract the actual interrupt ID from the raw value
obtained from interrupt controller.

This patch gives users control over logging messages printed from the C
code using the LOG macros defined in debug.h Users now have the ability
to reduce the log_level at run time using the tf_log_set_max_level()
function. The default prefix string can be defined by platform by
overriding the `plat_log_get_prefix()` platform API which is also
introduced in this patch.

The new log framework results in saving of some RO data. For example,
when BL1 is built for FVP with LOG_LEVEL=LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE, resulted
in saving 384 bytes of RO data and increase of 8 bytes of RW data. The
framework also adds about 108 bytes of code to the release build of FVP.

Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#462

This patch adds an early suspend handler, that executes with
SMP and data cache enabled. This handler allows platforms to
perform any early actions during the CPU suspend entry sequence.

This handler is optional and platforms can choose to implement it
depending on their needs. The `pwr_domain_suspend` handler still
exists and platforms can keep on using it without any side effects.

At the moment, various parts of the Trusted Firmware code assume
that the granule size used is 4 KB. For example, the linker scripts
enforce 4 KB alignment restrictions on some sections.

However, the ARMv8-A architecture allows 16 KB and 64 KB granule
sizes as well. Some other parts of the TF code, particularly the
architectural code and definitions, have been implemented with
this in mind and cater for all 3 cases.

This discrepancy creates some confusion as to what is effectively
supported in TF. This patch adds some code comments and clarification
in the documentation to make this limitation clearer.

Due to recent issues in the rendering of the documentation on GitHub and
some long-standing issues like the lack of automatic table of content in
Markdown, the documentation has been converted to reStructuredText.
Basic constructs looks pretty similar to Markdown.
