Add simple PSCI implementation
This patch adds a simple PSCI implementation, only supporting CPU_ON and
CPU_OFF. As this does not communicate with any hardware power controller
(yet), CPUs spin in an internal pen, with a wfe to limit their polling
speed.
While the model brings up CPUs with caches invalidated, we enable caches
and the MMU to allow the use of exclusive operations in the bootwrapper,
and thus the cache may allocate entries while in EL3. As PSCI requires
that caches are invalid when executing from a CPU_ON entry point, the
caches must be cleaned and invalided when we drop to EL2. This cleaning
is performed in a shim in EL2 as this is simpler than enabling/disabling
caches and the MMU on each SMC.
The list of all CPU IDs (MPIDRS with non-aff bits masked out) in the
system must be provided in the Makefile as the comma-separated list
CPU_IDs, to enable the bootwrapper to differentiate CPUs and provide the
correct error messages if for example the OS attempts to power on a CPU
multiple times. If this list does not match the CPUs present, it may not
be possible to bring some CPUs online, and the PSCI implementation may
erroneously acknowledge power on requests for non-existent CPUs.
