Andre Przywara 70b9204e6f fix(arm_fpga): halve number of PEs per core
When creating the Arm FPGA platform, we had plenty of memory available,
so assigned a generous four PEs per core for the potential CPU topology.
In reality we barely see implementations with two PEs per core, and
didn't have four at all so far.

With some design changes we now include more data per CPU type, and
since the Arm FPGA build supports many cores (and determines the correct
one at runtime), we run out of memory with certain build options.

Since we don't really need four PEs per core, just halve that number, to
reduce our memory footprint without sacrificing functionality.

Trusted Firmware-A
==================

Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A) is a reference implementation of secure world software
for `Arm A-Profile architectures`_ (Armv8-A and Armv7-A), including an Exception
Level 3 (EL3) `Secure Monitor`_. It provides a suitable starting point for
productization of secure world boot and runtime firmware, in either the AArch32
or AArch64 execution states.

TF-A implements Arm interface standards, including:

-  `Power State Coordination Interface (PSCI)`_
-  `Trusted Board Boot Requirements CLIENT (TBBR-CLIENT)`_
-  `SMC Calling Convention`_
-  `System Control and Management Interface (SCMI)`_
-  `Software Delegated Exception Interface (SDEI)`_

The code is designed to be portable and reusable across hardware platforms and
software models that are based on the Armv8-A and Armv7-A architectures.

In collaboration with interested parties, we will continue to enhance TF-A
with reference implementations of Arm standards to benefit developers working
with Armv7-A and Armv8-A TrustZone technology.

Users are encouraged to do their own security validation, including penetration
testing, on any secure world code derived from TF-A.
