Neoverse N1 erratum 1165347 is a Cat B erratum [1],
present in older revisions of the Neoverse N1 processor core.
The workaround is to set two bits in the implementation defined
CPUACTLR2_EL1 system register.

Neoverse N1 erratum 1073348 is a Cat B erratum [1],
present in older revisions of the Neoverse N1 processor core.
The workaround is to set a bit in the implementation defined
CPUACTLR_EL1 system register, which disables static prediction.

Neoverse N1 erratum 1315703 is a Cat A (rare) erratum [1], present in
older revisions of the Neoverse N1 processor core.
The workaround is to set a bit in the implementation defined CPUACTLR2_EL1
system register, which will disable the load-bypass-store feature.

Some cores support only AArch64 mode. In those cores, only a limited
subset of the AArch32 system registers are implemented. Hence, if TF-A
is supposed to run on AArch64-only cores, it must be compiled with
CTX_INCLUDE_AARCH32_REGS=0.
Currently, the default settings for compiling TF-A are with the AArch32
system registers included. So, if we compile TF-A the default way and
attempt to run it on an AArch64-only core, we only get a runtime panic.
Now a compile-time check has been added to ensure that this flag has the
appropriate value when AArch64-only cores are included in the build.

Examine the ID_AA64PFR1_EL1 bits 7:4 to see if speculative
loads (SSBS) is implemented, before disabling speculative
loads.

This patch fixes this issue:
https://github.com/ARM-software/tf-issues/issues/660
The introduced changes are the following:
1) Some cores implement cache coherency maintenance operation on the
hardware level. For those cores, such as - but not only - the DynamIQ
cores, it is mandatory that TF-A is compiled with the
HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY flag. If not, the core behaviour at runtime is
unpredictable. To prevent this, compile time checks have been added and
compilation errors are generated, if needed.
2) To enable this change for FVP, a logical separation has been done for
the core libraries. A system cannot contain cores of both groups, i.e.
cores that manage coherency on hardware and cores that don't do it. As
such, depending on the HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY flag, FVP includes the
libraries only of the relevant cores.
3) The neoverse_e1.S file has been added to the FVP sources.

This patch forces all cacheable atomic instructions to be near, which
improves performance in highly contended parallelized use-cases.

This patch applies the new MSR instruction to directly set the
PSTATE.SSBS bit which controls speculative loads. This new instruction
is available at Neoverse N1 core so it's utilised.
