This patch introduces some assembler macros to simplify the
declaration of the exception vectors. It abstracts the section
the exception code is put into as well as the alignments
constraints mandated by the ARMv8 architecture. For all TF images,
the exception code has been updated to make use of these macros.

This patch also updates some invalid comments in the exception
vector code.

Added a new platform porting function plat_panic_handler, to allow
platforms to handle unexpected error situations. It must be
implemented in assembly as it may be called before the C environment
is initialized. A default implementation is provided, which simply
spins.

Corrected all dead loops in generic code to call this function
instead. This includes the dead loop that occurs at the end of the
call to panic().

All unnecesary wfis from bl32/tsp/aarch64/tsp_exceptions.S have
been removed.

On a GICv2 system, interrupts that should be handled in the secure world are
typically signalled as FIQs. On a GICv3 system, these interrupts are signalled
as IRQs instead. The mechanism for handling both types of interrupts is the same
in both cases. This patch enables the TSP to run on a GICv3 system by:

1. adding support for handling IRQs in the exception handling code.
2. removing use of "fiq" in the names of data structures, macros and functions.

The build option TSPD_ROUTE_IRQ_TO_EL3 is deprecated and is replaced with a
new build flag TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT. For compatibility reasons, if the
former build flag is defined, it will be used to define the value for the
new build flag. The documentation is also updated accordingly.

The TSP is expected to pass control back to EL3 if it gets preempted due to
an interrupt while handling a Standard SMC in the following scenarios:

1. An FIQ preempts Standard SMC execution and that FIQ is not a TSP Secure
   timer interrupt or is preempted by a higher priority interrupt by the time
   the TSP acknowledges it. In this case, the TSP issues an SMC with the ID
   as `TSP_EL3_FIQ`. Currently this case is never expected to happen as only
   the TSP Secure Timer is expected to generate FIQ.

2. An IRQ preempts Standard SMC execution and in this case the TSP issues
   an SMC with the ID as `TSP_PREEMPTED`.

In both the cases, the TSPD hands control back to the normal world and returns
returns an error code to the normal world to indicate that the standard SMC it
had issued has been preempted but not completed.

This patch unifies the handling of these two cases in the TSPD and ensures that
the TSP only uses TSP_PREEMPTED instead of separate SMC IDs. Also instead of 2
separate error codes, SMC_PREEMPTED and TSP_EL3_FIQ, only SMC_PREEMPTED is
returned as error code back to the normal world.

Background information: On a GICv3 system, when the secure world has affinity
routing enabled, in 2. an FIQ will preempt TSP execution instead of an IRQ. The
FIQ could be a result of a Group 0 or a Group 1 NS interrupt. In both case, the
TSPD passes control back to the normal world upon receipt of the TSP_PREEMPTED
SMC. A Group 0 interrupt will immediately preempt execution to EL3 where it
will be handled. This allows for unified interrupt handling in TSP for both
GICv3 and GICv2 systems.

This patch disables routing of external aborts from lower exception levels to
EL3 and ensures that a SError interrupt generated as a result of execution in
EL3 is taken locally instead of a lower exception level.

The SError interrupt is enabled in the TSP code only when the operation has not
been directly initiated by the normal world. This is to prevent the possibility
of an asynchronous external abort which originated in normal world from being
taken when execution is in S-EL1.

Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#153

Implements support for Non Secure Interrupts preempting the
Standard SMC call in EL1. Whenever an IRQ is trapped in the
Secure world we securely handover to the Normal world
to process the interrupt. The normal world then issues
"resume" smc call to resume the previous interrupted SMC call.

This patch adds support in the TSP to handle FIQ interrupts that are
generated when execution is in the TSP. S-EL1 interrupt are handled
normally and execution resumes at the instruction where the exception
was originally taken. S-EL3 interrupts i.e. any interrupt not
recognized by the TSP are handed to the TSPD. Execution resumes
normally once such an interrupt has been handled at EL3.
