* Remove SPEC declarations from mk/spec
* Remove all board-specific REQUIRE declaratiions left
* Replace [have_spec <board>] run-script declarations with have_board where necessary
* Remove addition of BOARD variable to SPECS in toplevel Makefile
* Move board-specific directories in base-hw out of specs
Since the timer and timeout handling is part of the base library (the
dynamic linker), it belongs to the base repository.
Besides moving the timer and its related infrastructure (alarm, timeout
libs, tests) to the base repository, this patch also moves the timer
from the 'drivers' subdirectory directly to 'src' and disamibuates the
timer's build locations for the various kernels. Otherwise the different
timer implementations could interfere with each other when using one
build directory with multiple kernels.
Note that this patch changes the include paths for the former os/timer,
os/alarm.h, os/duration.h, and os/timed_semaphore.h to base/.
Issue #3101
On Odroid XU the SD card driver comes up and finds a card but for card
access it seems that we would need a platform driver like on Arndale.
On imx_53, the first SDHCI MMIO access faults. This is likely due to the
AIPSTZ memory bridge. On HW, we initialize the AIPSTZ in the kernel, but
when I tried doing that in the platform driver instead, the first AIPSTZ
MMIO access faults ^^ So I gave up for now and removed support.
Fixes#2259
Most implementations use a Signal_handler now to acknowledge the packet
instead of waiting for the transfer completion. The exceptions to that are
the non-DMA implementations for RPI and PL180

This patch changes the top-level directory layout as a preparatory
step for improving the tools for managing 3rd-party source codes.
The rationale is described in the issue referenced below.
