  U-boot for arm64
  
  Summary
  =======
  No hardware platform of arm64 is available now. The u-boot is
  simulated on Foundation Model and Fast Model for ARMv8.
  
  Notes
  =====
  
  1. Currenly, u-boot run at the highest exception level processor
     supported and jump to EL2 or optionally EL1 before enter OS.
  
  2. U-boot for arm64 is compiled with AArch64-gcc. AArch64-gcc
     use rela relocation format, a tool(tools/relocate-rela) by Scott Wood
     is used to encode the initial addend of rela to u-boot.bin. After running,
     the u-boot will be relocated to destination again.
  
  3. Fdt should be placed at a 2-megabyte boundary and within the first 512
     megabytes from the start of the kernel image. So, fdt_high should be
     defined specially.
     Please reference linux/Documentation/arm64/booting.txt for detail.
  
  4. Spin-table is used to wake up secondary processors. One location
     (or per processor location) is defined to hold the kernel entry point
     for secondary processors. It must be ensured that the location is
     accessible and zero immediately after secondary processor
     enter slave_cpu branch execution in start.S. The location address
     is encoded in cpu node of DTS. Linux kernel store the entry point
     of secondary processors to it and send event to wakeup secondary
     processors.
     Please reference linux/Documentation/arm64/booting.txt for detail.
  
  5. Generic board is supported.
  
  6. CONFIG_ARM64 instead of CONFIG_ARMV8 is used to distinguish aarch64 and
     aarch32 specific codes.
