There are two different implementations of Secure Partition
management in TF-A. One is based on the "Management Mode" (MM)
design, the other is based on the Secure Partition Client Interface
(SPCI) specification. Currently there is a dependency between their
build flags that shouldn't exist, making further development
harder than it should be. This patch removes that
dependency, making the two flags function independently.
Before: ENABLE_SPM=1 is required for using either implementation.
By default, the SPCI-based implementation is enabled and
this is overridden if SPM_MM=1.
After: ENABLE_SPM=1 enables the SPCI-based implementation.
SPM_MM=1 enables the MM-based implementation.
The two build flags are mutually exclusive.
Note that the name of the ENABLE_SPM flag remains a bit
ambiguous - this will be improved in a subsequent patch. For this
patch the intention was to leave the name as-is so that it is
easier to track the changes that were made.

Provide an SMC interface to the 9p filesystem. This permits
accessing firmware drivers through a common interface, using
standardized read/write/control operations.

This patch enables LTO for TF-A when compiled with GCC.
LTO is disabled by default and is enabled by
ENABLE_LTO=1 build option.
LTO is enabled only for aarch64 as there seem to be
a bug in the aarch32 compiler when LTO is enabled.
The changes in the makefiles include:
- Adding -flto and associated flags to enable LTO.
- Using gcc as a wrapper at link time instead of ld.
This is recommended when using LTO as gcc internally
takes care of invoking the necessary plugins for LTO.
- Adding switches to pass options to ld.
- Adding a flag to disable fix for erratum cortex-a53-843419
unless explicitly enabled. This is needed because GCC
seem to automatically add the erratum fix when used
as a wrapper for LD.
Additionally, this patch updates the TF-A user guide with
the new build option.

The User Guide document has grown organically over time and
now covers a wide range of topics, making it difficult to
skim read and extract information from. Currently, it covers
these topics and maybe a couple more:
- Requirements (hardware, tools, libs)
- Checking out the repo
- Basic build instructions
- A comprehensive list of build flags
- FIP packaging
- Building specifically for Juno
- Firmware update images
- EL3 payloads
- Preloaded BL33 boot flow
- Running on FVPs
- Running on Juno
I have separated these out into a few groups that become new
documents. Broadly speaking, build instructions for the tools,
for TF-A generally, and for specific scenarios are separated.
Content relating to specific platforms (Juno and the FVPs are
Arm-specific platforms, essentially) has been moved into the
documentation that is specific to those platforms, under
docs/plat/arm.
