* A restriction in the FVP code which did not allow the non-secure entrypoint
to lie outside the DRAM has been removed.
* The PSCI CPU_SUSPEND api has been stabilised to an extent where it can be
used for entry into power down states with the following restrictions:
- Entry into standby states is not supported.
- The api is only supported on the AEMv8 Base FVP.
* The PSCI AFFINITY_INFO api has undergone limited testing on the AEMv8 Base
FVP to allow experimental use.
* Locks corresponding to each affinity level are acquired and released in
the correct sequence in the PSCI implementation. Invocation of the PSCI
CPU_SUSPEND and CPU_OFF apis simultaneously across cpus & clusters should
not result in unexpected behaviour.

The `CPU_ON` and `CPU_OFF` functions implement the warm boot path in ARM
Trusted Firmware. These are the only functions which have been tested.
`AFFINITY_INFO` & `PSCI_VERSION` are present but completely untested in
this version of the software.
Unsupported PSCI functions that can return, return the `NOT_SUPPORTED`
(`-1`) error code. Other unsupported PSCI functions that don't return,
signal an assertion failure.
The `CPU_ON`, `CPU_OFF` and `CPU_SUSPEND` functions implement the warm boot
path in ARM Trusted Firmware. `CPU_ON` and `CPU_OFF` have undergone testing
on all the supported FVPs. `CPU_SUSPEND` & `AFFINITY_INFO` have undergone
testing only on the AEM v8 Base FVP. Support for `AFFINITY_INFO` is still
experimental. Support for `CPU_SUSPEND` is stable for entry into power down
states. Standby states are currently not supported. `PSCI_VERSION` is
present but completely untested in this version of the software.
Unsupported PSCI functions can be divided into ones that can return
execution to the caller and ones that cannot. The following functions
return with a error code as documented in the [Power State Coordination
Interface PDD] [PSCI].
- `MIGRATE` : -1 (NOT_SUPPORTED)
- `MIGRATE_INFO_TYPE` : 2 (Trusted OS is either not present or does not
require migration)
- `MIGRATE_INFO_UP_CPU` : 0 (Return value is UNDEFINED)
The following unsupported functions do not return and signal an assertion
failure if invoked.
- `SYSTEM_OFF`
- `SYSTEM_RESET`
BL3-1 returns the error code `-1` if an SMC is raised for any other runtime
service. This behavior is mandated by the [SMC calling convention PDD]
