arm64: Turn architectural register accessors into inline functions
Accesses to architectural registers should be really fast -- they're just registers, after all. In fact, the arm64 architecture uses them for some timing-senstive uses like the architectural timer. A read should be: one instruction, no data dependencies, done. However, our current coreboot framework wraps each of these accesses into a separate function. Suddenly you have to spill registers on a stack, make a function call, move your stack pointer, etc. When running without MMU this adds a significant enough delay to cause timing problems when bitbanging a UART on SDM845. This patch replaces all those existing functions with static inline definitions in the header so they will get reduced to a single instruction as they should be. Also use some macros to condense the code a little since they're all so regular, which should make it easier to add more in the future. This patch also expands all the data types to uint64_t since that's what the actual assembly instruction accesses, even if the register itself only has 32 bits (the others will be ignored by the processor and set to 0 on read). Arm regularly expands registers as they add new bit fields to them with newer iterations of the architecture anyway, so this just prepares us for the inevitable.
