The parameters passed to the Secure world from the Secure Partition
Manager when invoking SP_COMMUNICATE_AARCH32/64 were incorrect, as well
as the checks done on them.

The code was incorrectly reading from ID_AA64PRF0_EL1 instead of
ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1 causing the supported granularity sizes returned by the
code to be wrong.
This wasn't causing any problem because it's just used to check the
alignment of the base of the buffer shared between Non-secure and Secure
worlds, and it was aligned to more than 64 KiB, which is the maximum
granularity supported by the architecture.

The MP info struct is placed right after the boot info struct. However,
when calculating the address of the MP info, the size of the boot info
struct was being multiplied by the size of the MP boot info. This left
a big gap of empty space between the structs.
This didn't break any code because the boot info struct has a pointer to
the MP info struct. It was just wasting space.

A Secure Partition is a software execution environment instantiated in
S-EL0 that can be used to implement simple management and security
services. Since S-EL0 is an unprivileged exception level, a Secure
Partition relies on privileged firmware e.g. ARM Trusted Firmware to be
granted access to system and processor resources. Essentially, it is a
software sandbox that runs under the control of privileged software in
the Secure World and accesses the following system resources:
- Memory and device regions in the system address map.
- PE system registers.
- A range of asynchronous exceptions e.g. interrupts.
- A range of synchronous exceptions e.g. SMC function identifiers.
A Secure Partition enables privileged firmware to implement only the
absolutely essential secure services in EL3 and instantiate the rest in
a partition. Since the partition executes in S-EL0, its implementation
cannot be overly complex.
The component in ARM Trusted Firmware responsible for managing a Secure
Partition is called the Secure Partition Manager (SPM). The SPM is
responsible for the following:
- Validating and allocating resources requested by a Secure Partition.
- Implementing a well defined interface that is used for initialising a
Secure Partition.
- Implementing a well defined interface that is used by the normal world
and other secure services for accessing the services exported by a
Secure Partition.
- Implementing a well defined interface that is used by a Secure
Partition to fulfil service requests.
- Instantiating the software execution environment required by a Secure
Partition to fulfil a service request.
