ARM64_CPU_SUSPEND config option was introduced to make code providing
context save/restore selectable only on platforms requiring power
management capabilities.
Currently ARM64_CPU_SUSPEND depends on the PM_SLEEP config option which
in turn is set by the SUSPEND config option.
The introduction of CPU_IDLE for arm64 requires that code configured
by ARM64_CPU_SUSPEND (context save/restore) should be compiled in
in order to enable the CPU idle driver to rely on CPU operations
carrying out context save/restore.
The ARM64_CPUIDLE config option (ARM64 generic idle driver) is therefore
forced to select ARM64_CPU_SUSPEND, even if there may be (ie PM_SLEEP)
failed dependencies, which is not a clean way of handling the kernel
configuration option.
For these reasons, this patch removes the ARM64_CPU_SUSPEND config option
and makes the context save/restore dependent on CPU_PM, which is selected
whenever either SUSPEND or CPU_IDLE are configured, cleaning up dependencies
in the process.
This way, code previously configured through ARM64_CPU_SUSPEND is
compiled in whenever a power management subsystem requires it to be
present in the kernel (SUSPEND || CPU_IDLE), which is the behaviour
expected on ARM64 kernels.
The cpu_suspend and cpu_init_idle CPU operations are added only if
CPU_IDLE is selected, since they are CPU_IDLE specific methods and
should be grouped and defined accordingly.
PSCI CPU operations are updated to reflect the introduced changes.

ICC_SRE_EL1 is a system register allowing msr/mrs accesses to the
GIC CPU interface for EL1 (guests). Currently we force it to 0, but
for proper GICv3 support we have to allow guests to use it (depending
on their selected virtual GIC model).
So add ICC_SRE_EL1 to the list of saved/restored registers on a
world switch, but actually disallow a guest to change it by only
restoring a fixed, once-initialized value.
This value depends on the GIC model userland has chosen for a guest.

Implement switching of the debug registers. While the number
of registers is massive, CPUs usually don't implement them all
(A57 has 6 breakpoints and 4 watchpoints, which gives us a total
of 22 registers "only").
Also, we only save/restore them when MDSCR_EL1 has debug enabled,
or when we've flagged the debug registers as dirty. It means that
most of the time, we only save/restore MDSCR_EL1.

Kernel subsystems like CPU idle and suspend to RAM require a generic
mechanism to suspend a processor, save its context and put it into
a quiescent state. The cpu_{suspend}/{resume} implementation provides
such a framework through a kernel interface allowing to save/restore
registers, flush the context to DRAM and suspend/resume to/from
low-power states where processor context may be lost.
The CPU suspend implementation relies on the suspend protocol registered
in CPU operations to carry out a suspend request after context is
saved and flushed to DRAM. The cpu_suspend interface:
int cpu_suspend(unsigned long arg);
allows to pass an opaque parameter that is handed over to the suspend CPU
operations back-end so that it can take action according to the
semantics attached to it. The arg parameter allows suspend to RAM and CPU
idle drivers to communicate to suspend protocol back-ends; it requires
standardization so that the interface can be reused seamlessly across
systems, paving the way for generic drivers.
Context memory is allocated on the stack, whose address is stashed in a
per-cpu variable to keep track of it and passed to core functions that
save/restore the registers required by the architecture.
Even though, upon successful execution, the cpu_suspend function shuts
down the suspending processor, the warm boot resume mechanism, based
on the cpu_resume function, makes the resume path operate as a
cpu_suspend function return, so that cpu_suspend can be treated as a C
function by the caller, which simplifies coding the PM drivers that rely
on the cpu_suspend API.
Upon context save, the minimal amount of memory is flushed to DRAM so
that it can be retrieved when the MMU is off and caches are not searched.
The suspend CPU operation, depending on the required operations (eg CPU vs
Cluster shutdown) is in charge of flushing the cache hierarchy either
implicitly (by calling firmware implementations like PSCI) or explicitly
by executing the required cache maintainance functions.
Debug exceptions are disabled during cpu_{suspend}/{resume} operations
so that debug registers can be saved and restored properly preventing
preemption from debug agents enabled in the kernel.
