Current ATF uses a direct physical-to-virtual mapping, that is, a physical
address is mapped to the same address in the virtual space. For example,
physical address 0x8000_0000 is mapped to 0x8000_0000 virtual. This
approach works fine for FVP as all its physical addresses fall into 0 to
4GB range. But for other platform where all I/O addresses are 48-bit long,
If we follow the same direct mapping, we would need virtual address range
from 0 to 0x8fff_ffff_ffff, which is about 144TB. This requires a
significant amount of memory for MMU tables and it is not necessary to use
that much virtual space in ATF.
The patch is to enable mapping a physical address range to an arbitrary
virtual address range (instead of flat mapping)
Changed "base" to "base_va" and added "base_pa" in mmap_region_t and
modified functions such as mmap_add_region and init_xlation_table etc.

Previously, the enable_mmu_elX() functions were implicitly part of
the platform porting layer since they were included by generic
code. These functions have been placed behind 2 new platform
functions, bl31_plat_enable_mmu() and bl32_plat_enable_mmu().
These are weakly defined so that they can be optionally overridden
by platform ports.
Also, the enable_mmu_elX() functions have been moved to
lib/aarch64/xlat_tables.c for optional re-use by platform ports.
These functions are tightly coupled with the translation table
initialization code.

FVP specific files and functions containing the word "plat" have been
renamed to use the word "fvp" to distinguish them from the common
platform functionality and porting functions.

The FVP platform has a few filenames that begin with fvp_. These are
renamed to plat_ to make it easier to use the FVP port as a template.

GIC setup code which used to be in bl31_plat_setup.c is now in fvp_gic.c
to simplify future changes to other bootloader stages. This patch moves
code from bl31_plat_setup.c to fvp_gic.c, simplifies the include file
list for bl31_plat_setup.c, moves GIC declarations from the bl31.h header
file into the platform.h, and reworks files according to coding style
guide.

- Check at link-time that bootloader images will fit in memory
at run time and that they won't overlap each other.
- Remove text and rodata orphan sections.
- Define new linker symbols to remove the need for platform setup
code to know the order of sections.
- Reduce the size of the raw binary images by cutting some sections
out of the disk image and allocating them at load time, whenever
possible.
- Rework alignment constraints on sections.
- Remove unused linker symbols.
- Homogenize linker symbols names across all BLs.
- Add some comments in the linker scripts.

Also, don't invalidate the TLBs in disable_mmu() function, it's better
to do it in enable_mmu() function just before actually enabling the
MMU.
