The xHCI device model needs infrastructure that normally is provided by QEMU

USB controller interface _repos/libports/include/qemu/usb.h_ whose back-end
library interface has to be implemented by a component, i.e. the VMM, that
wants to use the library.

Within the last months, the initialization code of our custom kernel got

port (Section [New support for the RISC-V CPU architecture]) while also making
its implementation leaner. A positive side effect of this work was the
generalization of multi-processor and L2-cache support for ARM's Cortex-A9
CPUs. For instance, the Wandboard (Freescale i.MX6 SoC) is now driven with all
