BSYM() was invented to allow us to work around a problem with the
assembler, where local symbols resolved by the assembler for the 'adr'
instruction did not take account of their ISA.
Since we don't want BSYM() used elsewhere, replace BSYM() with a new
macro 'badr', which is like the 'adr' pseudo-op, but with the BSYM()
mechanics integrated into it. This ensures that the BSYM()-ification
is only used in conjunction with 'adr'.

In big endian mode mcpm_entry_point is first function
that called on secondaries CPU. First it should switch
CPU into big endian code.

In a similar manner to our spinlock implementation, mcpm uses sev to
wake up cores waiting on a lock when the lock is unlocked. In order to
ensure that the final write unlocking the lock is visible, a dsb
instruction is executed immediately prior to the sev.
This patch changes these dsbs to use the -st option, since we only
require that the store unlocking the lock is made visible.

Instead of requiring the first man to be elected in advance (which
can be suboptimal in some situations), this patch uses a per-
cluster mutex to co-ordinate selection of the first man.
This should also make it more feasible to reuse this code path for
asynchronous cluster resume (as in CPUidle scenarios).
We must ensure that the vlock data doesn't share a cacheline with
anything else, or dirty cache eviction could corrupt it.

This provides helper methods to coordinate between CPUs coming down
and CPUs going up, as well as documentation on the used algorithms,
so that cluster teardown and setup
operations are not done for a cluster simultaneously.
For use in the power_down() implementation:
* __mcpm_cpu_going_down(unsigned int cluster, unsigned int cpu)
* __mcpm_outbound_enter_critical(unsigned int cluster)
* __mcpm_outbound_leave_critical(unsigned int cluster)
* __mcpm_cpu_down(unsigned int cluster, unsigned int cpu)
The power_up_setup() helper should do platform-specific setup in
preparation for turning the CPU on, such as invalidating local caches
or entering coherency. It must be assembler for now, since it must
run before the MMU can be switched on. It is passed the affinity level
for which initialization should be performed.
Because the mcpm_sync_struct content is looked-up and modified
with the cache enabled or disabled depending on the code path, it is
crucial to always ensure proper cache maintenance to update main memory
right away. The sync_cache_*() helpers are used to that end.
Also, in order to prevent a cached writer from interfering with an
adjacent non-cached writer, we ensure each state variable is located to
a separate cache line.
Thanks to Nicolas Pitre and Achin Gupta for the help with this
patch.

CPUs in cluster based systems, such as big.LITTLE, have special needs
when entering the kernel due to a hotplug event, or when resuming from
a deep sleep mode.
This is vectorized so multiple CPUs can enter the kernel in parallel
without serialization.
The mcpm prefix stands for "multi cluster power management", however
this is usable on single cluster systems as well. Only the basic
structure is introduced here. This will be extended with later patches.
In order not to complexify things more than they currently have to,
the planned work to make runtime adjusted MPIDR based indexing and
dynamic memory allocation for cluster states is postponed to a later
cycle. The MAX_NR_CLUSTERS and MAX_CPUS_PER_CLUSTER static definitions
should be sufficient for those systems expected to be available in the
near future.
