The create() method on Params structs usually instantiate SimObjects
using a constructor which takes the Params struct as a parameter
somehow. There has been a lot of needless variation in how that was
done, making it annoying to pass Params down to base classes. Some of
the different forms were:
const Params &
Params &
Params *
const Params *
Params const*
This change goes through and fixes up every constructor and every
create() method to use the const Params & form. We use a reference
because the Params struct should never be null. We use const because
neither the create method nor the consuming object should modify the
record of the parameters as they came in from the config. That would
make consuming them not idempotent, and make it impossible to tell what
the actual simulation configuration was since it would change from any
user visible form (config script, config.ini, dot pdf output).

Add support for automatic PCI interrupt routing using a device's ID on
the PCI bus. Our current DTBs typically tell the kernel that we do
this or something similar when declaring the PCI controller. This
changeset adds an option to make the simulator behave in the same way.
Interrupt routing can be selected by setting the int_policy parameter
in the GenericArmPciHost. The following values are supported:
* ARM_PCI_INT_STATIC: Use the old static routing policy using the
interrupt line from a device's configurtion space.
* ARM_PCI_INT_DEV: Use device number on the PCI bus to map to an
interrupt in the GIC. The interrupt is computed as:
gic_int = int_base + (pci_dev % int_count)
* ARM_PCI_INT_PIN: Use device interrupt pin on the PCI bus to map to
an interrupt in the GIC. The PCI specification reserves pin ID 0
for devices without interrupts, the interrupt therefore computed
as:
gic_int = int_base + ((pin - 1) % int_count)
