Allows sysbus devices to be instantiated from command line by
using -device option. Machvirt creates a platform bus at init.
The dynamic sysbus devices are attached to this platform bus device.

The platform bus device registers a machine init done notifier
whose role will be to bind the dynamic sysbus devices. Indeed
dynamic sysbus devices are created after machine init.

machvirt also registers a notifier that will build the device
tree nodes for the platform bus and its children dynamic sysbus
devices.

Hrm, are you sure this code is from me? :)

v11 -> v12:
- resize PLATFORM_BUS_NUM_IRQS to 64 instead of 32
- overall NUM_IRQS changed to 256. This leaves space for MSI
   looming addition
- VIRT_PLATFORM_BUS size changed from 4MB to 32MB and base set at
   0xc000000
- Add Alex R-b

v8 -> v9:
- PLATFORM_BUS_NUM_IRQS set to 32 instead of 20
- platform bus irq now start at 64 instead of 48
- remove change of indentation in a15memmap
- correct misc style issues

v7 -> v8:
- rebase on 2.2.0
- in machvirt_init, create_platform_bus simply is added
   after the arm_load_kernel call instead of moving this latter.
   Related comment slighly reworded.
- Due to those changes I dropped Alex and Shannon's Reviewed-by

v6 -> v7:
Take into account Shannon comments:
- remove PLATFORM_BUS_FIRST_IRQ macro
- correct platform bus size to 0x400000
- add an additional comment in a15irqmap related to
   PLATFORM_BUS_NUM_IRQS

v5 -> v6:
- Take into account Peter's comments:
   - platform_bus_params initialized from vbi->memmap and vbi->irqmap.
     As a consequence, const is removed. Also alignment in a15memmap
     is slightly changed.
   - ARMPlatformBusSystemParams handle removed from create_platform_bus
     prototype
- arm_load_kernel has become a machine init done notifier registration.
   It must be called before platform_bus_create to guarantee the correct
   notifier execution sequence

v4 -> v5:
- platform_bus_params becomes static const
- reword comment in create_platform_bus
- reword the commit message

v3 -> v4:
- use platform bus object, instantiated in create_platform_bus
- device tree generation for platform bus and children dynamic
   sysbus devices is no more handled at reset but in a
   machine_init_done_notifier (due to the change in implementaion
   of ARM load dtb using rom_add_blob_fixed).
- device tree enhancement now takes into account the case of
   user provided dtb. Before the user dtb was overwritten which
   was wrong. However in case the dtb is provided by the user,
   dynamic sysbus nodes are not added there.
- renaming of MACHVIRT_PLATFORM defines
- MACHVIRT_PLATFORM_PAGE_SHIFT and SIZE_PAGES not needed anymore,
   hence removed.
- DynSysbusParams struct renamed into ARMPlatformBusSystemParams
   and above params removed.
- separation of dt creation and QEMU binding is not mandated anymore
   since the device tree is not created from scratch anymore. Instead
   the modify_dtb function is used.
- create_platform_bus registers another machine init done notifier
   to start VFIO IRQ handling. This latter executes after the
   dynamic sysbus device binding.

v2 -> v3:
- renaming of arm_platform_bus_create_devtree and arm_load_dtb
- add copyright in hw/arm/dyn_sysbus_devtree.c

v1 -> v2:
- remove useless vfio-platform.h include file
- s/MACHVIRT_PLATFORM_HOLE/MACHVIRT_PLATFORM_SIZE
- use dyn_sysbus_binding and dyn_sysbus_devtree
- dynamic sysbus platform buse size shrinked to 4MB and
   moved between RTC and MMIO

v1:

Peter, would you have a hard time if we just get rid of VIRT_MMIO completely and allow users to create the mmio-virtio bridges using -device for -M virt-2.4 and above?

At the end of the day, I'm fairly sure people will end up virtio-pci anyway and it's just a big waste of address space to keep VIRT_MMIO around, no?

That said, if you want to keep virtio-mmio support in the way it is today, I won't object. The rest of the patch looks good to me.
