Fixup `SMCCC_ARCH_FEATURES` semantics
...
When querying `SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1` through `SMCCC_ARCH_FEATURES`,
return either:
* -1 to indicate the PE on which `SMCCC_ARCH_FEATURES` is called
requires firmware mitigation for CVE-2017-5715 but the mitigation
is not compiled in.
* 0 to indicate that firmware mitigation is required, or
* 1 to indicate that no firmware mitigation is required.
This patch complies with v1.2 of the firmware interfaces
specification (ARM DEN 0070A).

Use PFR0 to identify need for mitigation of CVE-2017-5715
...
If the CSV2 field reads as 1 then branch targets trained in one
context cannot affect speculative execution in a different context.
In that case skip the workaround on Cortex A72 and A73.

Refactor AMU support for Cortex A75
...
This patch also fixes the assumption that the counters are disabled on
the resume path. This is incorrect as the AMU counters are enabled
early in the CPU reset function before `cpuamu_context_restore()`
runs.

Print erratum application report for CVE-2017-5715
...
Even though the workaround for CVE-2017-5715 is not a CPU erratum, the
code is piggybacking on the errata framework to print whether the
workaround was applied, missing or not needed.

Workaround for CVE-2017-5715 on Cortex A73 and A75
...
Invalidate the Branch Target Buffer (BTB) on entry to EL3 by
temporarily dropping into AArch32 Secure-EL1 and executing the
`BPIALL` instruction.
This is achieved by using 3 vector tables. There is the runtime
vector table which is used to handle exceptions and 2 additional
tables which are required to implement this workaround. The
additional tables are `vbar0` and `vbar1`.
The sequence of events for handling a single exception is
as follows:
1) Install vector table `vbar0` which saves the CPU context on entry
to EL3 and sets up the Secure-EL1 context to execute in AArch32 mode
with the MMU disabled and I$ enabled. This is the default vector table.
2) Before doing an ERET into Secure-EL1, switch vbar to point to
another vector table `vbar1`. This is required to restore EL3 state
when returning from the workaround, before proceeding with normal EL3
exception handling.
3) While in Secure-EL1, the `BPIALL` instruction is executed and an
SMC call back to EL3 is performed.
4) On entry to EL3 from Secure-EL1, the saved context from step 1) is
restored. The vbar is switched to point to `vbar0` in preparation to
handle further exceptions. Finally a branch to the runtime vector
table entry is taken to complete the handling of the original
exception.
This workaround is enabled by default on the affected CPUs.
NOTE
====
There are 4 different stubs in Secure-EL1. Each stub corresponds to
an exception type such as Sync/IRQ/FIQ/SError. Each stub will move a
different value in `R0` before doing an SMC call back into EL3.
Without this piece of information it would not be possible to know
what the original exception type was as we cannot use `ESR_EL3` to
distinguish between IRQs and FIQs.

Implement support for the Activity Monitor Unit on Cortex A75
...
The Cortex A75 has 5 AMU counters. The first three counters are fixed
and the remaining two are programmable.
A new build option is introduced, `ENABLE_AMU`. When set, the fixed
counters will be enabled for use by lower ELs. The programmable
counters are currently disabled.

Add support for Cortex-A75 and Cortex-A55 CPUs
...
Both Cortex-A75 and Cortex-A55 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 considerably
simpler.
