The "BCM2835 ARM Peripherals" datasheet [*] chapter 2
("Auxiliaries: UART1 & SPI1, SPI2"), list the register
sizes as 3/8/16/32 bits. We assume this means this
peripheral allows 8-bit accesses.

This was not an issue until commit 5d971f9e67 which reverted
("memory: accept mismatching sizes in memory_region_access_valid").

The model is implemented as 32-bit accesses (see commit 97398d900c,
all registers are 32-bit) so replace MemoryRegionOps.valid as
MemoryRegionOps.impl, and re-introduce MemoryRegionOps.valid
with a 8/32-bit range.

We don't seem to document the exact semantics you get for
a write with a size smaller than the impl.min_access_size.
Looking at the implementation in softmmu/memory.c, the
answer seems to be "it's turned into a write at the larger
size where the other bits in the write are zeroes".
Those semantics seem OK for this device (though there are
devices where they would not be, I suspect).
(The other plausible implementation would have been
"we do a read-modify-write sequence", which would not be
OK for this device, since it has some "device state changes
on read" registers like AUX_MU_IO_REG.)

We should probably clarify the comments in the MemoryRegionOps
struct to nail down the behaviour when the .impl constraints
are tighter than the .valid ones, but for this patch:

Applied to target-arm.next, thanks.
