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

Under certain near idle conditions, DSU may miss response transfers on
the ACE master or Peripheral port, leading to deadlock. This workaround
disables high-level clock gating of the DSU to prevent this.

Under specific conditions, the processor might issue an eviction and an
L2 cache clean operation to the interconnect in the wrong order. Set
the CPUACTLR.ENDCCASCI bit to 1 to avoid this.

On Cortex A9 an errata can cause the processor to violate the rules for
speculative fetches when the MMU is off but branch prediction has not
been disabled. The workaround for this is to execute an Invalidate
Entire Branch Prediction Array (BPIALL) followed by a DSB.

On Cortex-A7 an L2 set/way cache maintenance operation can overtake
an L1 set/way cache maintenance operation. The mitigation for this is
to use a `DSB` instruction before changing cache. The cache cleaning
code happens to already be doing this, so only a comment was added.

This gives each Secure Partition complete freedom on its address space.
Previously, the memory used by the exception vectors was reserved and
couldn't be used. Also, it always had to be mapped, forcing SPM to
generate translation tables that included the exception vectors as well
as the Partition memory regions. With this change, partitions can reduce
their address space size easily.

Improved support for W=2 compilation flag by solving some nested-extern
and sign-compare warnings.
The libraries are compiling with warnings (which turn into errors with
the Werror flag).
Outside of libraries, some warnings cannot be fixed.

Fixed the below bugs:
1) Bug related to build flag V=1: if the flag was V=0, building with
ROMLIB would fail.
2) Due to a syntax bug in genwrappers.sh, index file entries marked as
"patch" or "reserved" were ignored.
3) Added a prepending hash to constants that genwrappers is generating.
4) Due to broken dependencies, currently the inclusion functionality is
intentionally not utilised. This is why the contents of romlib/jmptbl.i
have been copied to platform specific jmptbl.i files. As a result of the
broken dependencies, when changing the index files, e.g. patching
functions, a clean build is always required. This is a known issue that
will be fixed in the future.

A problem has been detected in one of our test run configurations
involving dynamic mapping of regions and it is blocking the next
release. Until the problem can be solved, it is safer to revert
the changes.

Switched from a static check to a runtime assert to make sure a
workaround is implemented for CVE_2018_3639.
This allows platforms that know they have the SSBS hardware workaround
in the CPU to compile out code under DYNAMIC_WORKAROUND_CVE_2018_3639.
The gain in memory size without the dynamic workaround is 4KB in bl31.

The BL handover interface stores the bootloader arguments in
registers r9-r12, so when the reset_handler stores the lr pointer
in r10 it clobers one of the arguments.
Adapt to use r8 and adapt the comment about registers allowed
to clober.
I've checked aarch32 reset_handlers and none seem to use higher
registers as far as I can tell.
