[GIT PULL] ARM: multi-cluster aware boot protocol

Hi Russell,

please consider pulling this patch series that adds cluster awareness to
the ARM cpu_logical_map, adds DT cpu bindings, introduces GIC autoprobing for
CPU interfaces and cleans up the topology definitions based on the MPIDR
register.

It is a small step, though pivotal, towards cluster awareness in the ARM kernel
that allows us to generalize the MPIDR concept for future systems and prepare
for some changes that have been on the backburner for a while (eg MPIDR
linearization in cpu_{suspend}/{resume}).

Thank you very much indeed,
Lorenzo
