Pull arm64 patches from Catalin Marinas:
- SMP support for the PSCI booting protocol (power state coordination
interface).
- Simple earlyprintk support.
- Platform devices populated by default from the DT (SoC-agnostic).
- CONTEXTIDR support (used by external trace tools).

pm_idle() on arm64 was a synonym for default_idle(),
so remove it and invoke default_idle() directly.

This patch is a port of 575320d62 ("ARM: 7445/1: mm: update CONTEXTIDR
register to contain PID of current process") from ARM that introduces a
new Kconfig option which, when enabled, causes the kernel to write the
PID of the current task into the CONTEXTIDR register on context switch.
This is useful when analysing hardware trace, since writes to this
register can be configured to emit an event into the trace stream.

Backmerge from mainline commit that introduced a trivial conflict in
arch/arm64/kernel/process.c - a bunch of functions removed next to the
place where kernel_thread() used to be.

struct user_fp does not exist for arm64, so use struct user_fpsimd_state
instead for the ELF core dumping definitions. Furthermore, since we use
regset-based core dumping, we do not need definitions for dump_task_regs
and dump_fpu.

This patch enables CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_THREAD on arm64, changes
copy_threads to cope with kernel threads creation and adapts
ret_from_fork accordingly. The arm64-specific kernel_thread
implementation is no longer needed.

The patch adds support for thread creation and context switching. The
context switching CPU specific code is introduced with the CPU support
patch (part of the arch/arm64/mm/proc.S file). AArch64 supports
ASID-tagged TLBs and the ASID can be either 8 or 16-bit wide (detectable
via the ID_AA64AFR0_EL1 register).
