The Cortex-M CPU and its NVIC are two intimately intertwined parts of
the same hardware; it is not possible to use one without the other.
Unfortunately a lot of our board models don't do any sanity checking
on the CPU type the user asks for, so a command line like
    qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -cpu cortex-m3
will create an M3 without an NVIC, and coredump immediately.
In the other direction, trying a non-M-profile CPU in an M-profile
board won't blow up, but doesn't do anything useful either:
    qemu-system-arm -M lm3s6965evb -cpu arm926

Add some checking in the NVIC and CPU realize functions that the
user isn't trying to use an NVIC without an M-profile CPU or
an M-profile CPU without an NVIC, so we can produce a helpful
error message rather than a core dump.

mentioning board in CPU's realize seems a little bit strange,
maybe something similar to following would be better:

  "Cortex-M CPUs require device_foo for working"

I think the text as I have it is of more practical use to the
user, who is clearly not going to be very familiar with how
M-profile systems work if they've run into this error message.
"requires an NVIC" doesn't tell them what's actually wrong;
"this board doesn't work with this CPU" gives them a fighting
chance of understanding that they've given two incompatible
command line options.
