This library hides where the 'XIP' Global Variable are located in the memory.
It is expected the Sec/PrePi modules define the Global Variable area through
the GlobalVariable HOB.
The ArmPlatformGlobalVariableLib library allows access to global variables by
their offsets in this region.

In PrePi the StackBase is automatically calculated from the top of the memory.
The information is now passed from the assembly files to the C code.

In the previous version, every cores had the same stack size.
To avoid to waste memory with secondary core stacks, the primary core stack
size is now different from the secondary cores stack size.
These are the Stack PCDs and their default values:
gArmPlatformTokenSpaceGuid.PcdCPUCoresSecStackBase|0
gArmPlatformTokenSpaceGuid.PcdCPUCoreSecPrimaryStackSize|0x10000
gArmPlatformTokenSpaceGuid.PcdCPUCoreSecSecondaryStackSize|0x1000
gArmPlatformTokenSpaceGuid.PcdCPUCoresSecMonStackBase|0
gArmPlatformTokenSpaceGuid.PcdCPUCoreSecMonStackSize|0x1000
gArmPlatformTokenSpaceGuid.PcdCPUCoresStackBase|0
gArmPlatformTokenSpaceGuid.PcdCPUCorePrimaryStackSize|0x10000
gArmPlatformTokenSpaceGuid.PcdCPUCoreSecondaryStackSize|0x1000

On MpCore system, the primary core can now be any core of the system.
To identify the primary core, you can use 'gArmTokenSpaceGuid.PcdArmPrimaryCoreMask'
and 'gArmTokenSpaceGuid.PcdArmPrimaryCore'.
These PCDs by default use the ClusterId and CoreId to identify the core. And the
primary core is defined as the ClusetrId=0 and CoreId=0.
The helper macros are: IS_PRIMARY_CORE(MpId), GET_CORE_ID(MpId), GET_CLUSTER_ID(MpId),
GET_CORE_POS(MpId), PRIMARY_CORE_ID.

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.

This module should handle the Pre PI phase before the DXE core is
executed when there is no PEI Core support.
It declares the required information needed by the DXE core through HOBs.
