In the former memory model, the UEFI firmware was expected to be located
at the top of the system memory. Stacks & Pi memory regions were set below
the firmware.
On some platform, the UEFI firmware could be shadowed by the ROM firmware
(case of the BeagleBoard) and in some cases the firmware is copied at the
beginning of the system memory.
With this new memory model, stack and Pi/DXE memory regions are set at the
top of the system memory wherever the UEFI firmware is located in the memory
map.
Because DXE core does not support shadowed firmwares, the system memory covered
by the UEFI firmware is marked as 'Non Present' to avoid to be overlapped by
DXE allocations.

The idea is to keep ArmPkg responsible for the ARM architectural modules and ArmPlatformPkg
the ARM development platform packages (with their respective drivers).
ArmPlatformPkg: Reduce driver dependency on ArmPlatform.h
- Move some driver definitions from C-Macro to PCD values
- Unify PCD driver namespace

Feature PCDs cannot be used in assembly files.
The PcdStandalone PCD is needed in one of the assembly file of the
ArmPlatformPkg/PrePi module.

In the aim to reuse the memory init features in a PrePi module (use to
skip the PEI Core), this module has been divided into two files:
- MemoryInitPeiLib: declare the memory HOBs
- MemoryIniPeim: PEIM warpper for the library

Formerly, each platform was responsible to declare the location of its UEFI memory
region (used by PEI and DXE Foundations).
The ArmPlatformLib was also declaring every region of its partitionned system memory
with a System Resource HOB.
In this new model, the MemoryInit expects the system memory to be declared with the
PCDs gArmTokenSpaceGuid.PcdSystemMemoryBase/Size.
These PCDs declare the largest continuous DRAM region. Additional regions can be
declared with the ArmPLatformLib function ArmPlatformGetAdditionalSystemMemory().
Now, it is the PEIM that partitions the system memory for every platform. It installs
a region of the size PcdSystemMemoryUefiRegionSize (default 128MB) for the PEI permanent
memory at the top of the DRAM region.
And a region of gArmPlatformTokenSpaceGuid.PcdSystemMemoryFixRegionSize (default 128MB)
is declared at the base of the system memory. This region is used for the allocation that
requires fixed address or have some constraints on their locations.
