This patch uses the reworked exception handling support to handle
runtime service requests through SMCs following the SMC calling
convention. This is a giant commit since all the changes are
inter-related. It does the following:
1. Replace the old exception handling mechanism with the new one
2. Enforce that SP_EL0 is used C runtime stacks.
3. Ensures that the cold and warm boot paths use the 'cpu_context'
structure to program an ERET into the next lower EL.
4. Ensures that SP_EL3 always points to the next 'cpu_context'
structure prior to an ERET into the next lower EL
5. Introduces a PSCI SMC handler which completes the use of PSCI as a
runtime service

This patch introduces the framework to enable registration and
initialisation of runtime services. PSCI is registered and initialised
as a runtime service. Handling of runtime service requests will be
implemented in subsequent patches.

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

ns_entry_info used to be a per-cpu array. This is a waste of space
because it is only accessed by the primary CPU on the cold boot path.
This patch reduces ns_entry_info to a single-cpu area.
