With the introduction of the new DPU model, we need different
variations of the VExpress_GEM5_V1 platform. This splits the platform
dtsi file into a separate file for the base platform and the
HDLCD-based platform. This matches the hierarchy in RealView.py.

The DTB for the VExpress_GEM5_V1 was incorrectly flagging timer
interrupts as being edge triggered. Describe the interrupt as being
level triggered to match Juno and FVP.

The aarch64 boot loader was distributed using a BSD license that was
using non-standard formatting. Updated the license to match gem5's
canonical license format and removed the separete LICENSE.txt file.

An ARM big.LITTLE system consists of two cpu clusters: the big
CPUs are typically complex out-of-order cores and the little
CPUs are simpler in-order ones. The fs_bigLITTLE.py script
can run a full system simulation with various number of big
and little cores and cache hierarchy. The commit also includes
two example device tree files for booting Linux on the
bigLITTLE system.

The dts files in system/arm/dt currently assume that an (unreleased)
gem5-specific virtual encoder is used as a remote endpoint for the
HDLCD. This driver won't be released as a more general virtual encoder
is about to be posted on the Linux DRI devel list and this encoder has
now been merged with gem5's kernel tree. This changeset updates gem5's
dts files to use that encoder.

Ship aarch32 and aarch64 device trees with gem5. We currently ship
device trees as a part of the gem5 Linux kernel repository. This makes
tracking hard since device trees are supposed to be platform dependent
rather than kernel dependent (Linux considers device trees to be a
stable kernel ABI). It also makes code sharing between aarch32 and
aarch64 impossible.
This changeset implements a set of device trees for the new
VExpress_GEM5_V1 platform. The platform is described in a shared file
that is separate from the memory/CPU description. Due to differences
in how secondary CPUs are initialized, aarch32 and aarch64 use
different base files describing CPU nodes and the machine's
compatibility property.
Note: AArch64 and AArch32 interworking is not supported. If you use an AArch64
kernel you are restricted to AArch64 user-mode binaries. This will be addressed
in a later patch.
Note: Virtualization is only supported in AArch32 mode. This will also be fixed
in a later patch.

The simple_bootloader checks for CPU0 in a manner incompatible with systems
actually using affinity levels -- just looking at MPIDR[7:0]. However, in
future we may wish to use real affinity levels and this method will be in danger
of matching several CPUs with affinity0 = 0.
Match affinity2 == affinity1 == affinity0 == 0 instead.
