The CPUACTLR_EL1 register on Cortex-A57 CPUs supports a bit to enable
non-cacheable streaming enhancement. Platforms can set this bit only
if their memory system meets the requirement that cache line fill
requests from the Cortex-A57 processor are atomic.
This patch adds support to enable higher performance non-cacheable load
forwarding for such platforms. Platforms must enable this support by
setting the 'A57_ENABLE_NONCACHEABLE_LOAD_FWD' flag from their
makefiles. This flag is disabled by default.

Currently links between documents are using the format:
<path/to/><filename>.rst
This was required for services like GitHub because they render each
document in isolation - linking to another document is like linking
to any other file, just provide the full path.
However, with the new approach, the .rst files are only the raw
source for the documents. Once the documents have been rendered
the output is now in another format (HTML in our case) and so,
when linking to another document, the link must point to the
rendered version and not the .rst file.
The RST spec provides a few methods for linking between content.
The parent of this patch enabled the automatic creation of anchors
for document titles - we will use these anchors as the targets for
our links. Additional anchors can be added by hand if needed, on
section and sub-section titles, for example.
An example of this new format, for a document with the title
"Firmware Design" is :ref:`Firmware Design`.
One big advantage of this is that anchors are not dependent on
paths. We can then move documents around, even between directories,
without breaking any links between documents. Links will need to be
updated only if the title of a document changes.

Coherent I-cache is causing a prefetch violation where when the core
executes an instruction that has recently been modified, the core might
fetch a stale instruction which violates the ordering of instruction
fetches.
The workaround includes an instruction sequence to implementation

handler to execute a TLB inner-shareable invalidation to an arbitrary

This change creates the following directories under docs/
in order to provide a grouping for the content:
- components
- design
- getting_started
- perf
- process
In each of these directories an index.rst file is created
and this serves as an index / landing page for each of the
groups when the pages are compiled. Proper layout of the
top-level table of contents relies on this directory/index
structure.
Without this patch it is possible to build the documents
correctly with Sphinx but the output looks messy because
there is no overall hierarchy.
