As per Section 4.2.2. in the PSCI specification, the term "affinity"
is used in the context of describing the hierarchical arrangement
of cores. This often, but not always, maps directly to the processor
power domain topology of the system. The current PSCI implementation
assumes that this is always the case i.e. MPIDR based levels of
affinity always map to levels in a power domain topology tree.
This patch is the first in a series of patches which remove this
assumption. It removes all occurences of the terms "affinity
instances and levels" when used to describe the power domain
topology. Only the terminology is changed in this patch. Subsequent
patches will implement functional changes to remove the above
mentioned assumption.

This patch optimizes the invocation of the platform power management hooks for
ON, OFF and SUSPEND such that they are called only for the highest affinity
level which will be powered off/on. Earlier, the hooks were being invoked for
all the intermediate levels as well.
This patch requires that the platforms migrate to the new semantics of the PM
hooks. It also removes the `state` parameter from the pm hooks as the `afflvl`
parameter now indicates the highest affinity level for which power management
operations are required.

This patch creates a copy of the existing PSCI files and related psci.h and
platform.h header files in a new `PSCI1.0` directory. The changes for the
new PSCI power domain topology and extended state-ID frameworks will be
added incrementally to these files. This incremental approach will
aid in review and in understanding the changes better. Once all the
changes have been introduced, these files will replace the existing PSCI
files.
