This patch adds the necessary documentation updates to porting_guide.md
for the changes in the platform interface mandated as a result of the new
PSCI Topology and power state management frameworks. It also adds a
new document `platform-migration-guide.md` to aid the migration of existing
platform ports to the new API.
The patch fixes the implementation and callers of
plat_is_my_cpu_primary() to use w0 as the return parameter as implied by
the function signature rather than x0 which was used previously.

This patch migrates the rest of Trusted Firmware excluding Secure Payload and
the dispatchers to the new platform and context management API. The per-cpu
data framework APIs which took MPIDRs as their arguments are deleted and only
the ones which take core index as parameter are retained.

This patch fixes the build time condition deciding whether the
read-write data should be relocated from ROM to RAM. It was incorrectly
using __DATA_ROM_START__, which is a linker symbol and not a compiler
build flag. As a result, the relocation code was always compiled out.
This bug has been introduced by the following patch:
"Rationalize reset handling code"
Change-Id: I1c8d49de32f791551ab4ac832bd45101d6934045
The attempt to run the CPU reset code as soon as possible after reset
results in highly complex conditional code relating to the
RESET_TO_BL31 option.
This patch relaxes this requirement a little. In the BL1, BL3-1 and
PSCI entrypoints code, the sequence of operations is now as follows:
1) Detect whether it is a cold or warm boot;
2) For cold boot, detect whether it is the primary or a secondary
CPU. This is needed to handle multiple CPUs entering cold reset
simultaneously;
3) Run the CPU init code.
This patch also abstracts the EL3 registers initialisation done by
the BL1, BL3-1 and PSCI entrypoints into common code.
This improves code re-use and consolidates the code flows for
different types of systems.
NOTE: THE FUNCTION plat_secondary_cold_boot() IS NOW EXPECTED TO
NEVER RETURN. THIS PATCH FORCES PLATFORM PORTS THAT RELIED ON THE
FORMER RETRY LOOP AT THE CALL SITE TO MODIFY THEIR IMPLEMENTATION.
OTHERWISE, SECONDARY CPUS WILL PANIC.
