When a Firmware is complied as Position Independent Executable it needs
to request GDT fixup by passing size of the memory region to
el3_entrypoint_common macro.
The Global descriptor table fixup will be done early on during cold boot
process of primary core.
Currently only BL31 supports PIE, but in future when BL2_AT_EL3 will be
compiled as PIE, it can simply pass fixup size to the common el3
entrypoint macro to fixup GDT.
The reason for this patch was to overcome the bug introduced by SHA
330ead806
which called fixup routine for each core causing
re-initializing of global pointers thus overwriting any changes
done by the previous core.
