On ARM Cortex A9 platforms the external PL310 L2 cache controller
needs to be initialized dependent on the SoC. For instance on Pandaboard
it needs to call the firmware running in TrustZone's secure world,
on i.MX6 it initializes it directly, on other boards it doesn't need
to be initialized at all, because the bootloader already did so.
Therefore, we should implement the PL310 intialization in board specific
code and not in the base class implementation.

This commit separates certain SMP aspects into 'spec/smp' subdirectories.
Thereby it simplifies non-SMP implementations again, where no locking
and several platform specific maintainance operations are not needed.
Moreover, it moves several platform specifics to appropriated places,
removes dead code from x86, and starts to turn global static pointers
into references that are handed over.
Now, the right PCI bus:device:function (BDF) is reported to the kernel
during assign_pci syscall - beforehand it was ever 0:0.0. The BDF is
needed to lookup the correct DMAR unit the kernel has to configure. This
was revealed as the DMAR unit for Intel graphics on x201 is not the same
as for all other PCI devices we have drivers for on this platform.
Fixes#1848
Instead of using the 'alloc()' method to allocate new packets use
the 'next()' method with the previous packet. This is needed because
the last audio stack changes broke the semantics assumed by 'alloc()'.
We now keep track of the already queued packets by hand.
Fixes#1827.
Use kernel branch which is more accurate in accounting memory, which avoids
kernel messages of following form:
[0] warning: insufficient resources ...
Fixes#1830
Enable automatic build of Muen system image by adding the image/muen run
script to RUN_OPT. Also specify --image-muen parameters with explanatory
comments.
Note: The ISO image is not built by default anymore.
The script takes the following RUN_OPT parameters:
--image-muen-external-build Muen system is built automatically or externally
--image-muen-system Muen system policy
--image-muen-components Muen system components
--image-muen-hardware Muen hardware platform
--image-muen-gnat-path Path to GNAT toolchain
--image-muen-spark-path Path to SPARK toolchain
Because a check for the TEST_WRITE configuration was missing as condition for a
packet submit, the test caused unwanted write access to the device.

Explicitly cast floats to long as we currently do not plan to support
float in Xml_generator and previously the value was implicitly casted to
long anyway.
