This new C module will be used by ARM machine files to generate
platform bus node and their dynamic sysbus device tree nodes.

Dynamic sysbus device node addition is done in a machine init
done notifier. arm_register_platform_bus_fdt_creator does the
registration of this latter and is supposed to be called by
ARM machine files that support platform bus and their dynamic
sysbus. Addition of dynamic sysbus nodes is done only if the
user did not provide any dtb.

---
v5 -> v6:
- add_all_platform_bus_fdt_nodes is not a modify_dtb function anymore
- it now takes a handle to an ARMPlatformBusFdtParams.
- fdt pointer is checked in case this notifier is executed after the
  one that executes the load_dtb (this latter deallocates the fdt pointer)
- check of fdt_filename moved in here.
- upgrade_dtb is removed
- copyright aligned between .h and .c

v4 -> v5:
- change indentation in add_fdt_node_functions. Also becomes a
  static const.
- ARMPlatformBusFdtParams.system_params becomes a pointer to
  a const ARMPlatformBusSystemParams
- removes platform-bus.h second inclusion

v3 -> v4:
- dyn_sysbus_devtree.c renamed into sysbus-fdt.c
- use new PlatformBusDevice object
- the dtb upgrade is done through modify_dtb. Before the fdt
  was recreated from scratch. When the user provided a dtb this
  latter was overwritten which was not correct.
- an array contains the association between device type names
  and their node creation function
- I must aknowledge I did not find any cleaner way to implement
  a FDT_BUILDER interface, as suggested by Paolo. The class method
  would need to be initialized somewhere and since it cannot
  happen in the device itself - according to Alex & Peter comments -,
  I don't see when I shall associate the device type and its
  interface implementation.

v2 -> v3:
- add arm_ prefix
- arm_sysbus_device_create_devtree becomes static

v1 -> v2:
- Code moved in an arch specific file to accomodate architecture
  dependent specificities.
- remove platform_bus_base from PlatformDevtreeData

v1: code originally written by Alex Graf in e500.c and reused for
ARM [Eric Auger]

Hi Shannon,

Actually I removed them after some Alex comments I may have
misunderstood. I am going to restore them.
