The use of the Linux-internal SLUB allocator is supported by lx_emul and
drivers may now decide between the Linux implementation or our emulation
of kmem_cache. Drivers for pc and virt already use SLUB, while other
drivers still use the emulation and may be adapted step-by-step incl.
the testing on the devices.
Fixes#5236
Functions registered with 'module_init' (i.e., '__define_initcalls'),
'OF_DECLARE', and 'DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_CLASS_FINAL' used to be static
constructors and had be explicitly registered using
'exec_static_constructors' before executing any Linux code.
With this commit we remove the constructor attributes from these
functions and create a global function pointer in the form of
__initptr_<name>_<id>_<counter>_<line number of macro>
'import-lx_emul_common.inc' will collect these '__initptr' symbols after
the compile step and generate a 'lx_emul_register_initcalls' function
that executes the functions pointed to. This step is now automatically
performed in 'lx_emul_start_kernel'. This way a call to
'exec_static_constructors' can be omitted in case there are no other
constructors in place.
issue #5096
Implement udelay for all architectures within common lx_emul code,
remove driver-specific version.
Always do busy looping in udelay and use cpu_relax()
like the original Linux code. Thereby, we profit from architecture specific
instructions (cpu cool down), and jiffies are updated if irqs are on.

* Remove wrapper for legacy x86 platform API
* Move PCI configuration space quirks to corresponding driver
(pc_usb_host_drv, pc_wifi_drv, pc_intel_fb_drv)
* Adapt driver test run-scripts to changed configuration

* Move common SMP and NO_HZ_IDLE variables and functions into
generic lx_emul shadow implementations, and integrate them
into the common lx_emul import rules
* Enable SMP and NO_HZ_IDLE within virt_linux kernel configuration
* Adapt pc drivers and wireguard accordingly
* Use original Linux softirq implementation in wireguard
* Remove erroneous softirq shadow implementation

Enables symetric-multi-processor support in the Linux kernel configuration
used as base for the driver ports for PC. This is done to be compliant with
common usage of x86 drivers today.
Moreover, this commit uses the original kernel source for softirq/tasklet
implementation to get rid of the insufficient shadow implementation
in the lx_emul sources.

Use common implementation used by wifi and (not merged) audio driver.
Avoid usage of lib/delay.c since lpj and loop_for_jiffies are not calibrated
for the ported drivers as done on native Linux during boot and leads to wrong
delays for usb and intel_fb.
Issue #4540
This commit de-duplicates the redundant dummy implementations and
to some degree also the 'lx_emul.c' implementations while also
decluttering the various 'dep.list' files.
The code is moved into 'src/lib/pc/lx_emul' where it becomes part
of the 'pc_lx_emul' library.
Fixes#4500.
Instead of each driver providing its own header file use a central
header as the initcall order header should cover _all_ provided
initcalls resulting from the used 'pc_linux' kernel config.
Note that the 'pc_linux' configuration was extended with the
'USB_USBNET' option because the module's initcall is needed for the
Genode C API for USB glue-code and the 'PACKET' option needed by
the wireless lan driver.
The lack of theses options was not noticed as each driver used its
own initcall header so far that stemmed from the initial porting
effort.
Issue #4500.
* Drivers have to use lx_kit/memory_dma.cc
* Protocol-stacks use lx_kit/memory_non_dma.cc
* Moreover the device-dependent lx_emul parts get removed
from the common lx_emul import rules
Fix#4443
This commit contains:
* Minimal Linux kernel target: pc_linux
* Library to generate a Linux build directory, config, generated headers
* API depot package
The actual work was provided by Josef Soentgen.
