[edk2-devel] [RFC] [PATCH 0/2] Proposal to add EFI_MP_SERVICES_PROTOCOL support for AARCH64

I'd like to propose adding EFI_MP_SERVICES_PROTOCOL support for
AARCH64 systems. I've attached two patches to implement support for it
in the DXE phase, based on code in EmulatorPkg and UefiCpuPkg. It's added
under ArmPkg for now, but longer term it should probably be moved into
UefiCpuPkg.

Patch 1/2 is the start of addressing the issue that the Aff0 field of
the MPIDR is no longer guaranteed to be the core, and should be referred
to in a more generic way: for example it could be the thread, with Aff1
being the core and Aff2 the cluster. Clearly much more work is needed 
to fully remove that assumption.

Patch 2/2 implements the EFI_MP_SERVICES_PROTOCOL for DXE in Library/MpInitLib.
CpuDxe initializes the MP support, and as a result gains a dependency on
MpInitLib. ArmVirt.dsc.inc needs updated to add the new library, as will
all AARCH64 platforms.

I sent out a patch for MdeModulePkg last week to add a corresponding test
application, MpServicesTest (see https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/80878).
