This adds support for an ARC Virtual Platform. This platform is based on the
System C standard promoted by the OSCI (Open System C Initiative) and uses
nSIM to simulate the ARC CPU core itself.
Users can build a virtual SoC by combining System C models of peripherals
and CPU cores.

The original device tree was written using a slightly different
implementation of the fixed-factor-clock device tree binding. The
compatible string must be modified in order to be compatible with the
new implementation.

These are the device tree files for the Abilis Systems TB100 and TB101 ICs and
their respective development kit PCBs. These files are committed in preparation
of the following patch set which adds support for these chips to the ARC
platform.

Currently, for every ARC kernel build I see the following:
--------------->8-----------------
DTB arch/arc/boot/dts/angel4.dtb.S
AS arch/arc/boot/dts/angel4.dtb.o
LD arch/arc/boot/dts/built-in.o
rm arch/arc/boot/dts/angel4.dtb.S <-- forces rebuild next iter
CHK kernel/config_data.h
--------------->8-----------------
This is because *.dts.S is intermediate file in dtb generation and is by
default deleted by make which needs a ".SECONDARY" hint to NOT do so.
This could have ideally been done in scripts/Makefile.lib - for benefit
of all, however .SECONDARY doesn't seem to work with wildcards.
Thanks to Stephen for suggesting .SECONDARY (vs .PRECIOUS) and making
that work using a non wildcard version in arch makefile.
Thanks to James Hogan for pointing out that *.dtb.S now needs to be
added to clean-files

The existing uImage target always generates gzip compressed image which
drags bootup for some very slow FPGA customer boards.
So introduce seperate make targets:uImage.{bin,gz} with uncompressed
being default. Also tie gz generation to CONFIG_KERNEL_GZIP, which a
platform can select in it's Kconfig if it wishes gz to be default.

* arc-uart platform device now populated dynamically, using
of_platform_populate() - applies to any other device whatsoever.
* uart in turn requires incore arc-intc to be also present in DT
* A irq-domain needs to be instantiated for IRQ requests by DT probed
device (e.g. arc-uart)
TODO: switch over to linear irq domain once all devs have been
transitioned to DT

This is minimal infrastructure needed for devicetree work.
It uses an a sample "skeleton" devicetree - embedded in kernel image -
to print the board, manufacturer by parsing the top-level "compatible"
string.
As of now we don't need any additional "board" specific "machine_desc".
TODO: support interpreting the command line as boot-loader passed dtb

Arnd in his review pointed out that arch Kconfig organisation has several
deficiencies:
* Build time entries for things which can be runtime extracted from DT
(e.g. SDRAM size, core clk frequency..)
* Not multi-platform-image-build friendly (choice .. endchoice constructs)
* cpu variants support (750/770) is exclusive.
The first 2 have been fixed in subsequent patches.
Due to the nature of the 750 and 770, it is not possible to build for
both together, w/o special runtime glue code which would hurt
performance.
