Alexandre Courbot d9a1beaa10 ARM: add basic support for Trusted Foundations
Trusted Foundations is a TrustZone-based secure monitor for ARM that
can be invoked using the same SMC-based API on supported platforms.
This patch adds initial basic support for Trusted Foundations using
the ARM firmware API. Current features are limited to the ability to
boot secondary processors.

Note: The API followed by Trusted Foundations does *not* follow the SMC
calling conventions. It has nothing to do with PSCI neither and is only
relevant to devices that use Trusted Foundations (like most Tegra-based
retail devices).

Some devices (including most Tegra-based consumer devices on the
market) are booted with the Trusted Foundations secure monitor
active, requiring some core operations to be performed by the secure
monitor instead of the kernel.
This option allows the kernel to invoke the secure monitor whenever
required on devices using Trusted Foundations. See
arch/arm/include/asm/trusted_foundations.h or the
tl,trusted-foundations device tree binding documentation for details
on how to use it.
Say n if you don't know what this is about.
