Previously mem_protect used to be only supported from BL2. This is not
helpful in the case when ARM TF-A BL2 is not used. This patch demonstrates
mem_protect from el3_runtime firmware on ARM Platforms specifically
when RESET_TO_BL31 or RESET_TO_SP_MIN flag is set as BL2 may be absent
in these cases. The Non secure DRAM is dynamically mapped into EL3 mmap
tables temporarily and then the protected regions are then cleared. This
avoids the need to map the non secure DRAM permanently to BL31/sp_min.
The stack size is also increased, because DYNAMIC_XLAT_TABLES require
a bigger stack.

On ARM platforms, the maximum size of the address space is limited
to 32-bits as defined in arm_def.h. In order to access DRAM2, which
is defined beyond the 32-bit address space, the maximum address space
is increased to 36-bits in AArch64. It is possible to increase the
virtual space for AArch32, but it is more difficult and not supported
for now.
NOTE - the actual maximum memory address space is platform dependent
and is checked at run-time by querying the PARange field in the
ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1 register.

mem_protect needs some kind of non-volatile memory because it has
to remember its state across reset and power down events.
The most suitable electronic part for this feature is a NVRAM
which should be only accesible from the secure world. Juno and
FVP lack such hardware and for this reason the MEM_PROTECT
functionality is implemented with Flash EEPROM memory on both
boards, even though this memory is accesible from the non-secure
world. This is done only to show a full implementation of
these PSCI features, but an actual system shouldn't use a
non-secure NVRAM to implement it.
The EL3 runtime software will write the mem_protect flag and BL2
will read and clear the memory ranges if enabled. It is done in
BL2 because it reduces the time that TF needs access to the full
non-secure memory.
The memory layout of both boards is defined using macros which
take different values in Juno and FVP platforms. Generic platform
helpers are added that use the platform specific macros to generate
a mem_region_t that is valid for the platform.
