b353af63e2 platform: generic: Modify platform ops instead of using hooks
Switch all existing platform overrides to use the helper pattern instead
of the platform hooks. After this commit, only the .match_table and
.init members of struct platform_override are used.

There are two minor behavioral differences:
 - For Allwinner D1, fdt_add_cpu_idle_states() is now called before the
   body of generic_final_init(). This should have no functional impact.
 - For StarFive JH7110, if the /chosen/starfive,boot-hart-id property is
   missing, the code now falls back to using generic_coldboot_harts,
   instead of accepting any hart.

8153b2622b platform/lib: Set no-map attribute on all PMP regions
This reverts commit 6966ad0abe ("platform/lib: Allow the OS to map the
regions that are protected by PMP").

It was thought at the time of this commit that allowing the kernel to map
PMP protected regions was safe but it is actually not: for example, the
hibernation process will try to access any linear mapping page and then
will fault on such mapped PMP regions [1]. Another issue is that the
device tree specification [2] states that a !no-map region must be
declared as EfiBootServicesData/Code in the EFI memory map which would make
the PMP protected regions reclaimable by the kernel. And to circumvent
this, RISC-V edk2 diverges from the DT specification to declare those
regions as EfiReserved.

The no-map attribute was removed to allow the kernel to use hugepages
larger than 2MB to map the linear mapping to improve the performance but
actually a recent talk from Mike Rapoport [3] stated that the
performance benefit was marginal.

For all those reasons, let's mark all the PMP protected regions as "no-map".

9a7a677d5f platform: generic: Move Sifive platform overrides into own directory
Let us move SiFive platform overrides for FU540 and FU740 into a separate
directory so better maintainability. Other SoC vendors can also create
their own directory under platform/generic.
