Rather than having the virt machine model create an a15mpcore_priv
device regardless of the actual CPU type in order to instantiate the GIC,
move to having the machine model create the GIC directly. This
corresponds to a system which uses a standalone GIC (eg the GIC-400)
rather than the one built in to the CPU core.
The primary motivation for this is to support the Cortex-A57,
which for a KVM configuration will use a GICv2, which is not
built into the CPU.

Set the reset-cbar property on CPUs used by the virt board,
if they have it. This isn't necessary for correct functioning
under Linux (since the A9 isn't a valid CPU for the virt board),
but it is the correct behaviour.

The qemu_devtree API is a wrapper around the fdt_ set of APIs.
Rename accordingly.

Support -cpu host in virt machine (treating it like an A15, ie
with a GIC v2 and the A15's private peripherals.)

Add 'virt' platform support corresponding to arch/arm/mach-virt
in the Linux kernel tree. This has no platform-specific code but
can use any device whose kernel driver is is able to work purely
from a device tree node. We use this to instantiate a minimal
set of devices: a GIC and some virtio-mmio transports.

[PMM:
Significantly overhauled:
* renamed user-facing machine to just "virt"
* removed the A9 support (it can't work since the A9 has no
generic timers)
* added virtio-mmio transports instead of random set of 'soc' devices
(though we retain a pl011 UART)
* instead of updating io_base as we step through adding devices,
define a memory map with an array (similar to vexpress)
* similarly, define irqmap with an array
* folded in some minor fixes from John's aarch64-support patch
* rather than explicitly doing endian-swapping on FDT cells,
use fdt APIs that let us just pass in host-endian values
and let the fdt layer take care of the swapping
* miscellaneous minor code cleanups and style fixes
