The old API is deprecated and will eventually be removed.
Arm platforms now use the multi console driver for boot and runtime
consoles. However, the crash console uses the direct console API because
it doesn't need any memory access to work. This makes it more robust
during crashes.
The AArch32 port of the Trusted Firmware doesn't support this new API
yet, so it is only enabled in AArch64 builds. Because of this, the
common code must maintain compatibility with both systems. SP_MIN
doesn't have to be updated because it's only used in AArch32 builds.
The TSP is only used in AArch64, so it only needs to support the new
API without keeping support for the old one.
Special care must be taken because of PSCI_SYSTEM_SUSPEND. In Juno, this
causes the UARTs to reset (except for the one used by the TSP). This
means that they must be unregistered when suspending and re-registered
when resuming. This wasn't a problem with the old driver because it just
restarted the UART, and there were no problems associated with
registering and unregistering consoles.
The size reserved for BL2 has been increased.

This reverts commit 2f18aa1fa3.
It is causing some tests to fail. Until the cause is found and fixed, it
is needed to remove this commit from master.

This patch add supports for the new API added for BL2 at EL3 for
FVP. We don't have a non-TF Boot ROM for FVP, but this option can be
tested setting specific parameters in the model.
The bl2 image is loaded directly in memory instead of being loaded
by a non-TF Boot ROM and the reset address is changed:
--data cluster0.cpu0=bl2.bin@0x4001000
-C cluster0.cpu0.RVBAR=0x4001000
These parameters mean that in the cold boot path the processor will
jump to BL2 again. For this reason, BL2 is loaded in dram in this
case, to avoid other images reclaiming BL2 memory.
