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.

53156de9f4 base_hw & arm: Memory attributes and light caching.
Enable caches. Core is not cached by now. This is because kernel
creates core space and doesn't know any memory attributes by now.
Cacheable pages are cached write-through without write-allocate.

Caching and write-combining is not supported for IOMEM by now.

cfa0a40d5e base_hw & omap4: USB HID and framebuffer driver.
Implement 'Signal_receiver::pending()'.

Provide display-subsystem MMIO.

Avoid method ambiguousness in 'Irq_context' in
'dde_linux/src/drivers/usb/signal/irq.cc'
(it derives from two list element classes when using 'base_hw').

Enables demo scenario with 'hw_panda_a2'.

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.

94ea3a0acb Move away drivers from generic base-repository
Driver definitions which are used by kernel/core in base-hw, and also by other
drivers (e.g. from the os repository) have to reside in the generic
base-repository, for instance some uart drivers. All drivers which are
interesting for one of the sites only (sp804 for timer driver, or
cortex_a9 cpu driver for base-hw) should reside in the respective repos.

Factorize cpu context out of Cortex A9 specific definitions. Moreover, there
is already a Cpu_state object containing all common ARM registers. We use
this as a base for the cpu context switching done by the base-hw kernel.
The Cpu_state class get extended by a cpu-exception field, that stores the kind
of exception raised when the corresponding context got interrupted. This
information is used not only by the base-hw kernel, but also by the TrustZone
VMM that is build currently.

6cd0c02dcd base-hw: introduce VM session interface
The VM session interface is meant to be generic, but first will be used in the context
of TrustZone only.

dc3d784e6d Introduce platform-specific services for core
By now all services in core where created, and registered in the generic
main routine. Although there exists already a x86-specific service (I/O ports)
there was no possibility to announce core-services for certain platforms only.
This commit introduces a hook function in the 'Platform' class, that enables
registration of platform-specific services. Moreover, the io-port service
is offered on x86 platforms only now.

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.

83bdfea9b0 Extend Cpu_session with thread-affinity API
This patch introduces the functions 'affinity' and 'num_cpus' to the CPU
session interface. The interface extension will allow the assignment of
individual threads to CPUs. At this point, it is just a stub with no
actual platform support.
