The Firmware Image Package (FIP) driver allows for data to be loaded
from a FIP on platform storage. The FVP supports loading bootloader
images from a FIP located in NOR FLASH.
The implemented FVP policy states that bootloader images will be
loaded from a FIP in NOR FLASH if available and fall back to loading
individual images from semi-hosting.
NOTE:
- BL3-3(e.g. UEFI) is loaded into DRAM and needs to be configured
to run from the BL33_BASE address. This is currently set to
DRAM_BASE+128MB for the FVP.

The modified implementation uses the IO abstraction rather than
making direct semi-hosting calls. The semi-hosting driver is now
registered for the FVP platform during initialisation of each boot
stage where it is used. Additionally, the FVP platform includes a
straightforward implementation of 'plat_get_image_source' which
provides a generic means for the 'load_image' function to determine
how to access the image data.
