Add support for parsing the explicit topology bindings to discover the
topology of the system.
Since it is not currently clear how to map multi-level clusters for the
scheduler all leaf clusters are presented to the scheduler at the same
level. This should be enough to provide good support for current systems.

In non-heterogeneous systems like big.LITTLE systems the scheduler will be
able to make better use of the available cores if we provide power numbers
to it indicating their relative performance. Do this by parsing the CPU
nodes in the DT.
The power numbers are the same as for ARMv7 since it seems that the
expected differential between the big and little cores is very similar on
both ARMv7 and ARMv8. These numbers are just an initial and basic
approximation for use with the current scheduler, it is likely that both
experience with silicon and ongoing work on improving the scheduler will
lead to further tuning.

Add basic CPU topology support to arm64, based on the existing pre-v8
code and some work done by Mark Hambleton. This patch does not
implement any topology discovery support since that should be based on
information from firmware, it merely implements the scaffolding for
integration of topology support in the architecture.
The goal is to separate the architecture hookup for providing topology
information from the DT parsing in order to ease review and avoid
blocking the architecture code (which will be built on by other work)
with the DT code review by providing something something simple
and basic.
A following patch will implement support for parsing the DT topology
bindings for ARM, similar patches will be needed for ACPI.
