Call platform_is_primary_cpu() only from reset handler

Support asynchronous method for BL3-2 initialization ...

This patch adds support for BL3-2 initialization by asynchronous
method where BL3-1 transfers control to BL3-2 using world switch.
After BL3-2 initialization, it transfers control to BL3-3 via SPD
service handler. The SPD service handler initializes the CPU context
to BL3-3 entrypoint depending on the return function indentifier from
TSP initialization.

Fixes ARM-software/TF-issues#184

Call platform_is_primary_cpu() only from reset handler ...

The purpose of platform_is_primary_cpu() is to determine after reset
(BL1 or BL3-1 with reset handler) if the current CPU must follow the
cold boot path (primary CPU), or wait in a safe state (secondary CPU)
until the primary CPU has finished the system initialization.

This patch removes redundant calls to platform_is_primary_cpu() in
subsequent bootloader entrypoints since the reset handler already
guarantees that code is executed exclusively on the primary CPU.

Additionally, this patch removes the weak definition of
platform_is_primary_cpu(), so the implementation of this function
becomes mandatory. Removing the weak symbol avoids other
bootloaders accidentally picking up an invalid definition in case the
porting layer makes the real function available only to BL1.

The define PRIMARY_CPU is no longer mandatory in the platform porting
because platform_is_primary_cpu() hides the implementation details
(for instance, there may be platforms that report the primary CPU in
a system register). The primary CPU definition in FVP has been moved
to fvp_def.h.

The porting guide has been updated accordingly.

This patch introduces platform APIs to initialise and

For the FVP platform, PL011_UART0 is the designated
crash console. The platform porting guide is also updated
to document the new APIs.

This patch removes the allocation of memory for coherent stacks, associated

updates the porting guide to remove the concept and the motivation behind using
stacks allocated in coherent memory.

Add support for BL3-0 image ...

- Add support for loading a BL3-0 image in BL2. Information about
   memory extents is populated by platform-specific code. Subsequent
   handling of BL3-0 is also platform specific.
   The BL2 main function has been broken down to improve readability.
   The BL3-2 image is now loaded before the BL3-3 image to align with
   the boot flow.

 - Build system: Add support for specifying a BL3-0 image that will be
   included into the FIP image.

 - IO FIP driver: Add support for identifying a BL3-0 image inside a
   FIP image.

 - Update the documentation to reflect the above changes.

TF issue 109

Refactor fvp gic code to be a generic driver ...

Refactor the FVP gic code in plat/fvp/fvp_gic.c to be a generic ARM
GIC driver in drivers/arm/gic/arm_gic.c. Provide the platform
specific inputs in the arm_gic_setup() function so that the driver
has no explicit dependency on platform code.

Provide weak implementations of the platform interrupt controller
API in a new file, plat/common/plat_gic.c. These simply call through
to the ARM GIC driver.

Move the only remaining FVP GIC function, fvp_gic_init() to
plat/fvp/aarch64/fvp_common.c and remove plat/fvp/fvp_gic.c

Remove concept of top/bottom image loading ...

This concept is no longer required since we now support loading of
images at fixed addresses only.

The image loader now automatically detects the position of the image
inside the current memory layout and updates the layout such that
memory fragmentation is minimised.

The 'attr' field of the meminfo data structure, which used to hold
the bottom/top loading information, has been removed. Also the 'next'
field has been removed as it wasn't used anywhere.

The 'init_bl2_mem_layout()' function has been moved out of common
code and put in BL1-specific code. It has also been renamed into
'bl1_init_bl2_mem_layout'.

Correctly dimension the PSCI aff_map_node array ...

The array of affinity nodes is currently allocated for 32 entries
with the PSCI_NUM_AFFS value defined in psci.h. This is not enough
for large systems, and will substantially over allocate the array
for small systems.

This patch introduces an optional platform definition
PLATFORM_NUM_AFFS to platform_def.h. If defined this value is
used for PSCI_NUM_AFFS, otherwise a value of two times the number
of CPU cores is used.

The FVP port defines PLATFORM_NUM_AFFS to be 10 which saves
nearly 1.5KB of memory.

This patch makes the console crash dump of processor register

makefile or on the make command line.
