Some times in the device tree, we find an array of 2 u32 cells that
really are a single u64 value. This patch adds a helper to make the
creation of these easy.

Phandle references work by having 2 pieces:
- a "phandle" 1-cell property in the device tree node
- a reference to the same value in a property we want to point
to the other node
To generate the 1-cell property, we need an allocation mechanism that
gives us a unique number space. This patch adds an allocator for these
properties.

We want to get rid of the concept of loading an external device tree and instead
generate our own. However, to do this we need to also create a device tree
template programatically.
This patch adds a helper to create an empty device tree in memory.

This patch adds a helper to search for a node's phandle by its path. This
is especially useful when the phandle is part of an array, not just a single
cell in which case qemu_devtree_setprop_phandle would be the easy choice.

Phandles are the fancy device tree name for "pointer to another node".
To create a phandle property, we most likely want to reference to the
node we're pointing to by its path. So create a helper that allows
us to do so.

We have device tree helpers that allow us to create single cell (u32)
wide properties. However, when creating properties that contain an array of
cells, we need to jump through hoops, manually passing in an array with
converted endianness.
To ease the pain of this, create a generic macro helper that allows us
to pass the cells as arguments.

We want to be able to create subnodes in our device tree, so export it through
the qemu device tree abstraction framework.

We have a qemu internal abstraction layer on FDT. While I'm not fully convinced
we need it at all, it's missing the nop_node functionality that we now need
on e500. So let's add it and think about the general future of that API later.

Currently qemu_devtree_setprop() expects the new property value to be
given as a uint32_t *. While property values consisting of u32s are
common, in general they can have any bytestring value.
Therefore, this patch alters the function to take a void * instead,
allowing callers to easily give anything as the property value.

To implement the -kernel, -initrd, and -append options, 4xx board emulation
must load the guest kernel as if firmware had loaded it. Where u-boot would be
the firmware, we must load the flat device tree into memory and set key fields
such as /chosen/bootargs.
This patch introduces a dependency on libfdt for flat device tree support.
