7f2f2d9120 base-hw: ease core build
Merge core only libs into the target make-files.

Use base-hw specific Board drivers that inherit
from generic Board_base.

Use Page_flags::access_t instead of additional
page_flags_t.

bc24a21658 base-hw: embed kernel space into platform thread
Instead of allocating and freeing the space that is needed for the
kernel thread objects from core, wich is not convenient with the
quota system, platform thread now holds the space as array by
itself.

Unfortunately we cannot measure the space size by a static function
anymore, so kernel thread had to be moved from kernel.cc into its
own header. This way platform thread can use sizeof().

88316abca1 Merge panda_a2 and panda SPEC (fix #505, fix #506)
There is no obvious reason for having two different SPEC variables, definitions,
and pathes for the Pandaboard platform. It even lead to problems regarding the
omap4 framebuffer driver (look at issue #505 and #506).

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.
