Cummulative patch of changes that are not vendor-specific:
- ARMv6 and ARMv7 architecture support
- ARM SMP support
- VFP/Neon support
- ARM Generic Interrupt Controller driver
- Simplification of startup code for all platforms

behaviour when being run under QEMU.
- Make PXA UART probe code to work under QEMU gumstix, which
doesn't emulate all the ports properly.

This overhaul covers the following major changes:
- All integrated peripherals drivers for Marvell ARM SoC, which are
currently in the FreeBSD source tree are reworked and adjusted so they
derive config data out of the device tree blob (instead of hard coded /
tabelarized values).
- Since the common FDT infrastrucutre (fdtbus, simplebus) is used we say
good by to obio / mbus drivers and numerous hard-coded config data.
Note that world needs to be built WITH_FDT for the affected platforms.

Notes:
- Only used by mge(4) at the moment.
- This is very simplified approach and should be replaced by some long-term
solution for managing the board/platform configuration (among others the
MAC-PHY binding info).

The above families of SOCs are built around CPU cores compliant with ARMv5TE
instruction set architecture definition. They share a number of integrated
peripherals. This commit brings support for the following basic elements:
* GPIO
* Interrupt controller
* L1, L2 cache
* Timers, watchdog, RTC
* TWSI (I2C)
* UART
Other peripherals drivers will be introduced separately.

This is still fairly rough and will be refined over time but I felt it was
better to get this out there where other people can help out.

They are used to detect if the kernel is booted from the onboard flash.
Define those for the IQ31244
whole the physical memory, cached, using 1MB section mappings. This reduces
the address space available for user processes a bit, but given the amount of
memory a typical arm machine has, it is not (yet) a big issue.
It then provides a uma_small_alloc() that works as it does for architectures
which have a direct mapping.
Add a new option, SKYEYE_WORKAROUNDS, which as the name suggests adds
workarounds for things skyeye doesn't simulate. Specifically :
- Use USART0 instead of DBGU as the console, make it not use DMA, and manually provoke an interrupt when we're done in the transmit function.
- Skyeye maintains an internal counter for clock, but apparently there's
no way to access it, so hack the timecounter code to return a value which
is increased at every clock interrupts. This is gross, but I didn't find a
better way to implement timecounters without hacking Skyeye to get the
counter value.
- Force the write-back of PTEs once we're done writing them, even if they
are supposed to be write-through. I don't know why I have to do that.
