Samuel Holland f8578e641b bl31: Split into two separate memory regions
Some platforms are extremely memory constrained and must split BL31
between multiple non-contiguous areas in SRAM. Allow the NOBITS
sections (.bss, stacks, page tables, and coherent memory) to be placed
in a separate region of RAM from the loaded firmware image.

Because the NOBITS region may be at a lower address than the rest of
BL31, __RW_{START,END}__ and __BL31_{START,END}__ cannot include this
region, or el3_entrypoint_common would attempt to invalidate the dcache
for the entire address space. New symbols __NOBITS_{START,END}__ are
added when SEPARATE_NOBITS_REGION is enabled, and the dcached for the
NOBITS region is invalidated separately.
