Add helper library for cpu context management

This patch introduces functions for saving and restoring shared system
registers between secure and non-secure EL1 exception levels, VFP
registers and essential EL3 system register and other state. It also
defines the 'cpu_context' data structure which will used for saving and
restoring execution context for a given security state. These functions
will allow runtime services like PSCI and Secure payload dispatcher to
implement logic for switching between the secure and non-secure states.

The save and restore functions follow AArch64 PCS and only use
caller-saved temporary registers.

Setup VBAR_EL3 incrementally

This patch ensures that VBAR_EL3 points to the simple stack-less
'early_exceptions' when the C runtime stack is not correctly setup to
use the more complex 'runtime_exceptions'. It is initialised to
'runtime_exceptions' once this is done.

This patch also moves all exception vectors into a '.vectors' section
and modifies linker scripts to place all such sections together. This
will minimize space wastage from alignment restrictions.

Add Firmware Image Package (FIP) driver

The Firmware Image Package (FIP) driver allows for data to be loaded
from a FIP on platform storage. The FVP supports loading bootloader
images from a FIP located in NOR FLASH.

The implemented FVP policy states that bootloader images will be
loaded from a FIP in NOR FLASH if available and fall back to loading
individual images from semi-hosting.

NOTE:
- BL3-3(e.g. UEFI) is loaded into DRAM and needs to be configured
to run from the BL33_BASE address. This is currently set to
DRAM_BASE+128MB for the FVP.

Implement load_image in terms of IO abstraction

The modified implementation uses the IO abstraction rather than
making direct semi-hosting calls. The semi-hosting driver is now
registered for the FVP platform during initialisation of each boot
stage where it is used. Additionally, the FVP platform includes a
straightforward implementation of 'plat_get_image_source' which
provides a generic means for the 'load_image' function to determine
how to access the image data.

Add IO abstraction framework

This is intended primarily for use as a storage abstraction.
It allows operations such as image-loading to be implemented
in a platform-independent fashion. Each platform registers
a set of IO drivers during initialisation. The platform must
also provide a function that will return a device and a specifier
that can be used to access specified content.

Clients of the API will primarily use device and entity handles.
The term "entity" is deliberately vague, to allow for different
representations of content accessed using different types of
specifier, but will often be interpreted as a "file" where the
specifier will normally be its path.

This commit builds, but is intended to be paired with a sample
implementation of "load_image" using a semi-hosting driver on FVP.

psci: fix affinity level upgrade issue

The psci implementation does not track target affinity level requests
specified during cpu_suspend calls correctly as per the following
example.

1. cpu0.cluster0 calls cpu_suspend with the target affinity level as 0
2. Only the cpu0.cluster0 is powered down while cluster0 remains
powered up
3. cpu1.cluster0 calls cpu_off to power itself down to highest
possible affinity level
4. cluster0 will be powered off even though cpu0.cluster0 does not
allow cluster shutdown

This patch introduces reference counts at affinity levels > 0 to track
the number of cpus which want an affinity instance at level X to
remain powered up. This instance can be turned off only if its
reference count is 0. Cpus still undergo the normal state transitions
(ON, OFF, ON_PENDING, SUSPEND) but the higher levels can only be
either ON or OFF depending upon their reference count.

The above issue is thus fixed as follows:

1. cluster0's reference count is incremented by two when cpu0 and cpu1
are initially powered on.

2. cpu0.cluster0 calls cpu_suspend with the target affinity level as
0. This does not affect the cluster0 reference count.

3. Only the cpu0.cluster0 is powered down while cluster0 remains
powered up as it has a non-zero reference count.

4. cpu1.cluster0 call cpu_off to power itself down to highest possible
affinity level. This decrements the cluster0 reference count.

5. cluster0 is still not powered off since its reference count will at
least be 1 due to the restriction placed by cpu0.

which includes the system register context. This will allow other bits
to be saved and restored as well in subsequent patches.

Do not trap access to floating point registers

Traps when accessing architectural features are disabled by clearing bits
in CPTR_EL3 during early boot, including accesses to floating point
registers. The value of this register was previously undetermined, causing
unwanted traps to EL3. Future EL3 code (for example, context save/restore
code) may use floating point registers, although they are not used by current
code.

Also, the '-mgeneral-regs-only' flag is enabled in the GCC settings to
prevent generation of code that uses floating point registers.
