This patch uses the context library to save and restore EL3 state on
the 'cpu_context' data structures allocated by PSCI for managing
non-secure state context on each cpu.

This patch adds support for a cpu context management library. This
library will be used to:
1. Share pointers to secure and non-secure state cpu contexts between
runtime services e.g. PSCI and Secure Payload Dispatcher services
2. Set SP_EL3 to a context structure which will be used for
programming an ERET into a lower EL
3. Provide wrapper functions to save and restore EL3 & EL1
state. These functions will in turn use the helper functions in
context.S

This patch ensures that VBAR_EL3 points to the simple stack-less
'early_exceptions' when the C runtime stack is not correctly setup to
use the more complex 'runtime_exceptions'. It is initialised to
'runtime_exceptions' once this is done.
This patch also moves all exception vectors into a '.vectors' section
and modifies linker scripts to place all such sections together. This
will minimize space wastage from alignment restrictions.

The secure context saved and restored across a cpu_suspend operation
can be more than just the state of the secure system registers e.g. we
also need to save the affinity level till which the cpu is being
powered down. This patch creates a suspend_context data structure
which includes the system register context. This will allow other bits
to be saved and restored as well in subsequent patches.

Traps when accessing architectural features are disabled by clearing bits
in CPTR_EL3 during early boot, including accesses to floating point
registers. The value of this register was previously undetermined, causing
unwanted traps to EL3. Future EL3 code (for example, context save/restore
code) may use floating point registers, although they are not used by current
code.
Also, the '-mgeneral-regs-only' flag is enabled in the GCC settings to
prevent generation of code that uses floating point registers.

This patch removes the duplicate declaration of psci_cpu_on in psci.h
and moves the constants for the system level implementation of the
generic timer from arch_helpers.h to arch.h. All other architectural
constants are defined in arch.h so there is no need to add them to
arch_helpers.h

- 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.

Any asynchronous exception caused by the firmware should be handled
in the firmware itself. For this reason, unmask SError exceptions
(and Debug ones as well) on all boot paths. Also route external
abort and SError interrupts to EL3, otherwise they will target EL1.
