8d03312528 base_hw: Use board-specific 'Core_tlb'.
'Core_tlb' ensures that core never throws pagefaults,
in contrast to its base 'Tlb' that is planned to use displacement
in the future.

'Core_tlb' enables the application of differenet memory attributes
in core, according to the board specific partitioning of the physical
address space. This way it enables caching in core.

31d57a6257 Nested init on i.MX31 via base_hw. Rework base_hw.
Implies support for the ARMv6 architecture through 'base-hw'.

Get rid of 'base/include/drivers' expect of 'base/include/drivers/uart'.

Merge with the support for trustzone on VEA9X4 that came from
Stefan Kalkowski.

Leave board drivers in 'base/include/platform'.

Rework structure of the other drivers that were moved to
'base_hw/src/core' and those that came with the trustzone support.

Beautify further stuff in 'base_hw'.

Test 'nested_init' with 'hw_imx31' (hardware) and 'hw_panda_a2' (hardware),
'demo' and 'signal' with 'hw_pbxa9' (qemu) and 'hw_vea9x4'
(hardware, no trustzone), and 'vmm' with 'hw_vea9x4'
(hardware, with trustzone).

8393ac6895 base-hw: implement vm_session for TrustZone
* Introduces Schedule_context
* Use fast-interrupts or normal interrupts
* Add mode-transition between secure/non-secure world
* Limit system resources for Genode apps due to non-secure world

This commit implements the newly introduced Vm session interface to be used
on top of TrustZone capable Armv7 CPUs. Therefore a new Schedule_context is
introduced in the kernel. Threads and Vms are both Schedule_contexts used
by the scheduler. In contrast to a thread a vm uses a different assembler
mode switch to the non-secure, virtual world, as well as another exception
is used, when the non-secure world is left. For both worlds to co-exist
the interrupt-controller needs to be configured, so that the secure (Genode)
world uses fast-interrupts only, and the non-secure world only legacy
interrupts.
The only TrustZone capable platform the base-hw kernel works on top of
is the CoreTile Express 9x4 for the Versatile Express motherboard. For a
virtual machine working properly on top some platform resources must be
reserved. Therefore there exist two flavours of this platform now, one with
the 'trustzone' spec-variable enabled, and one without. If 'trustzone' is
specified most platform resources (DDR-RAM, and most IRQs) are reserved
for the Vm and not available to the secure Genode world.

96d45c1159 Define board declarations in a more generic fashion
By naming all board declaration (previously in base/include/drivers/board) the
same way, and putting them in platform-specific include-pathes, we save additional
declaration redirection in the base-hw kernel, and in driver definitions.
