Ariane platform doesn't have any kernel devices. But the DTS parser
doesn't accept empty properties. Removing it completely to avoid DTS
parsing error.
Added hypervisor support on the qemu-arm-virt platform. Required a few
changes in the gic_v2 driver to not reroute interrupts to group 1. Set
secure mode to 'off' in qemu for the elf-loader to work.
Added a check for the user's qemu version, generates a warning if less
than 3.1. This is important because the DTS QEMU generates for the virt
platform is slightly different between versions and can (will) clash
with our overlays.
Currently on x86 device untypeds are generated by passing the entire
address space minus any parts that are reserved by the kernel or that
are "real" memory (e.g. kernel image, physical RAM).
On ARM and RISC-V, device untypeds were generated at compile-time from
a device tree. This patch moves ARM and RISC-V to use the same approach
as x86, and moves the code from x86 into a common location that's
shared between the three architectures.

- we're going to switch to mapping the whole address space, excluding
parts used by the kernel, to userspace. We trust the root server anyway,
so giving it extra (possibly invalid) MMIO space just simplifies stuff
on the kernel end.
- drop the hacky true/false/null 'user' flag in favour of a saner
true/false one.
- remove support for 'default' regions. By default we will pass unused
regions through to userspace.
This is almost a complete rewrite from the old hardware_gen.py.
It separates the 'parse DT' stage from the 'generate output'
devices more strictly, and is hopefully easier to understand and
easier to extend.
We also no longer generate the 'devices' list (in YAML)
or the dev_p_regs array (in C), as the kernel will implicitly
expose all non-RAM untypeds as devices.
On exynos5 platforms the Arm Generic timer is available and is used for
MCS, but the mct.h is still used as the mct device needs to be
configured to implement the Arm Generic timer. mct.h is a common header
for register definitions while exynos4412-mct.h is used for implementing
timer functions on the exynos4 where the mct doesn't support being the
Arm generic timer.
Also remove misplaced initGenericTimer() declaration.
