Create cpu topology based on MPIDR. When hardware sets MPIDR to sane
values, this method will always work. Therefore it should also work well
as the fallback method. [1]

When we have multiple processing elements in the system, we create
the cpu topology by mapping each affinity level (from lowest to highest)
to threads (if they exist), cores, and clusters.

Add support for parsing the explicit topology bindings to discover the
topology of the system.

Since it is not currently clear how to map multi-level clusters for the
scheduler all leaf clusters are presented to the scheduler at the same
level. This should be enough to provide good support for current systems.

As a legacy of the way 32 bit ARM did things the topology code uses a null
topology map by default and then overwrites it by mapping cores with no
information to a cluster by themselves later. In order to make it simpler
to reset things as part of recovering from parse failures in firmware
information directly set this configuration on init. A core will always be
its own sibling so there should be no risk of confusion with firmware
provided information.

f6e763b93a6cd3411fd8df925344022719bcba62 04-Mar-2014 Mark Brown <broonie@linaro.org> arm64: topology: Implement basic CPU topology support

Add basic CPU topology support to arm64, based on the existing pre-v8
code and some work done by Mark Hambleton. This patch does not
implement any topology discovery support since that should be based on
information from firmware, it merely implements the scaffolding for
integration of topology support in the architecture.

No locking of the topology data is done since it is only modified during
CPU bringup with external serialisation from the SMP code.

The goal is to separate the architecture hookup for providing topology
information from the DT parsing in order to ease review and avoid
blocking the architecture code (which will be built on by other work)
with the DT code review by providing something simple and basic.

Following patches will implement support for interpreting topology
information from MPIDR and for parsing the DT topology bindings for ARM,
similar patches will be needed for ACPI.
