Ensure a console is initialized before it is used

This patch moves console_init() to bl32_early_platform_setup(). It
also ensures that console_init() is called in each
blX_early_platform_setup() function before the console is used
e.g. through a printf call in an assert() statement.

Preserve x19-x29 across world switch for exception handling

Previously exception handlers in BL3-1, X19-X29 were not saved
and restored on every SMC/trap into EL3. Instead these registers
were 'saved as needed' as a side effect of the A64 ABI used by the C
compiler.

That approach failed when world switching but was not visible
with the TSP/TSPD code because the TSP is 64-bit, did not
clobber these registers when running and did not support pre-emption
by normal world interrupts. These scenarios showed
that the values in these registers can be passed through a world
switch, which broke the normal and trusted world assumptions
about these registers being preserved.

The Ideal solution saves and restores these registers when a
world switch occurs - but that type of implementation is more complex.
So this patch always saves and restores these registers on entry and
exit of EL3.

Optimise data cache clean/invalidate operation

The data cache clean and invalidate operations dcsw_op_all()
and dcsw_op_loius() were implemented to invoke a DSB and ISB
barrier for every set/way operation. This adds a substantial
performance penalty to an already expensive operation.

These functions have been reworked to provide an optimised
implementation derived from the code in section D3.4 of the
ARMv8 ARM. The helper macro setup_dcsw_op_args has been moved
and reworked alongside the implementation.

Replace disable_mmu with assembler version

disable_mmu() cannot work as a C function as there is no control
over data accesses generated by the compiler between disabling and

main memory.

As assembler version is provided for EL3, and a variant that also
disables the instruction cache which is now used by the BL1
exception handling function.

Correct usage of data and instruction barriers

The current code does not always use data and instruction
barriers as required by the architecture and frequently uses
barriers excessively due to their inclusion in all of the
write_*() helper functions.

Barriers should be used explicitly in assembler or C code
when modifying processor state that requires the barriers in
order to enable review of correctness of the code.

This patch removes the barriers from the helper functions and
introduces them as necessary elsewhere in the code.

PORTING NOTE: check any port of Trusted Firmware for use of
system register helper functions for reliance on the previous
barrier behaviour and add explicit barriers as necessary.

SCTLR_EL3.EE is being configured too late in bl1_arch_setup() and

This control bit must be configured immediately on CPU reset to

Remove variables from .data section

Update code base to remove variables from the .data section,
mainly by using const static data where possible and adding
the const specifier as required. Most changes are to the IO
subsystem, including the framework APIs. The FVP power
management code is also affected.

Delay initialization of the global static variable,
next_image_type in bl31_main.c, until it is realy needed.
Doing this moves the variable from the .data to the .bss
section.

Also review the IO interface for inconsistencies, using
uintptr_t where possible instead of void *. Remove the
io_handle and io_dev_handle typedefs, which were
unnecessary, replacing instances with uintptr_t.

Always use named structs in header files

Add tag names to all unnamed structs in header files. This
allows forward declaration of structs, which is necessary to
reduce header file nesting (to be implemented in a subsequent
commit).

Also change the typedef names across the codebase to use the _t
suffix to be more conformant with the Linux coding style. The
coding style actually prefers us not to use typedefs at all but
this is considered a step too far for Trusted Firmware.

Also change the IO framework structs defintions to use typedef'd
structs to be consistent with the rest of the codebase.
