I think this one is also good to take independently, it groups all the
context required for booting the GSP in a dedicated type, which is
something we might want to do as the SEC2 and FSP paths require
different resources (and thus could use different associated types).

So I'm leaning towards merging this early as it is independent from the
preceding patches in the series and makes the first step in that
direction.
