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
