Varun Wadekar 1862d6203c lib: psci: early suspend handler for platforms
This patch adds an early suspend handler, that executes with
SMP and data cache enabled. This handler allows platforms to
perform any early actions during the CPU suspend entry sequence.

This handler is optional and platforms can choose to implement it
depending on their needs. The `pwr_domain_suspend` handler still
exists and platforms can keep on using it without any side effects.

Sandrine Bailleux de3d704d74 Emphasize that TF only supports 4 KB granule size
At the moment, various parts of the Trusted Firmware code assume
that the granule size used is 4 KB. For example, the linker scripts
enforce 4 KB alignment restrictions on some sections.

However, the ARMv8-A architecture allows 16 KB and 64 KB granule
sizes as well. Some other parts of the TF code, particularly the
architectural code and definitions, have been implemented with
this in mind and cater for all 3 cases.

This discrepancy creates some confusion as to what is effectively
supported in TF. This patch adds some code comments and clarification
in the documentation to make this limitation clearer.

Douglas Raillard 6f62574767 Convert documentation to reStructuredText
Due to recent issues in the rendering of the documentation on GitHub and
some long-standing issues like the lack of automatic table of content in
Markdown, the documentation has been converted to reStructuredText.
Basic constructs looks pretty similar to Markdown.

Automatically convert GitHub markdown documentation to reStructuredText
using pandoc.
