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 PcdStandalone is a PCD ARM Ltd uses to make the difference between a standalone UEFI (boot
from cold boot to Boot Manager without user intervention) and a Debug UEFI firmware (the firmware
engineer has to copy the Normale World image into the DRAM to enable his/her firmware).
By coping the firmware into DRAM in the non standalone version it is much faster than reflashing
the NOR Flash after each build.
ArmPlatformSecExtraAction() function is called just before the Sec module jump to normal world.
The platform firmware can run extra actions at this stage.
The 'ARM Standalone' concept has moved to the implementation of ArmPlatformSecExtraAction() for
the ARM development boards (in ArmPlatformPkg/Library/DebugSecExtraActionLib).
ArmPlatformPkg: Enable DebugAgentLib in Sec and PrePeiCore
ArmPlatformPkg: Fix line endings in some source files
Use CR+LF line endings as defined by the EDK2 coding convention

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.

The size of this memory is controlled by a PCD. The Global Variable in this regsion are defined by their offset.
This memory region can be use to store the PEI Services Table Pointer.
Update the PeiServicesTablePointerLib to use this region instead of PcdPeiServicePtrAddr.

The UEFI Specification defines some requirement related to the Boot Manager.
This new version of the BDS support most of the features:
- TimeOut, BootNext, BootOrder, Boot### environment variable for boot device selection
- ConOut. ConIn, ConErr environment variables for console intialization
- Boot EFI application defined by a Device Path
- Support removable devices
- Support FileSystem, MemMap, PXE and TFTP boot devices

This NOR Flash driver can be reused for other platform (eg: ARM Realview EB).
To make this driver reusable on other platforms the NorFlashPlatformLib library
has been created to abstract the platform specific bits such as the pre-requirements
steps to the initialization and the geometry of the NOR Flash regions.

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.
