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.

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.

Reduce the number of header files included from other header
files as much as possible without splitting the files. Use forward
declarations where possible. This allows removal of some unnecessary
"#ifndef __ASSEMBLY__" statements.
Also, review the .c and .S files for which header files really need
including and reorder the #include statements alphabetically.

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.

Move the PSCI global functions out of psci_private.h and into
psci.h to allow the standard service to only depend on psci.h.

Move the BL function prototypes out of arch.h and into the
appropriate header files to allow more efficient header file
inclusion. Create new BL private header files where there is no
sensible existing header file.

Make codebase consistent in its use of #include "" syntax for

This patch saves the 'power_state' parameter prior to suspending
a cpu and invalidates it upon its resumption. The 'affinity level'
and 'state id' fields of this parameter can be read using a set of
public and private apis. Validation of power state parameter is
introduced which checks for SBZ bits are zero.
This change also takes care of flushing the parameter from the cache
to main memory. This ensures that it is available after cpu reset
when the caches and mmu are turned off. The earlier support for
saving only the 'affinity level' field of the 'power_state' parameter
has also been reworked.

This extends the --gc-sections behaviour to the many assembler
support functions in the firmware images by placing each function
into its own code section. This is achieved by creating a 'func'
macro used to declare each function label.

Each ARM Trusted Firmware image should know in which EL it is running
and it should use the corresponding register directly instead of reading
currentEL and knowing which asm register to read/write

This patch implements ARM Standard Service as a runtime service and adds
support for call count, UID and revision information SMCs. The existing
PSCI implementation is subsumed by the Standard Service calls and all
PSCI calls are therefore dispatched by the Standard Service to the PSCI
handler.
At present, PSCI is the only specification under Standard Service. Thus
call count returns the number of PSCI calls implemented. As this is the
initial implementation, a revision number of 0.1 is returned for call
revision.
