	We currently generate and compile one version of the ISA code per CPU model. This is obviously wasting a lot of resources at compile time. This changeset factors out the interface into a separate ExecContext class, which also serves as documentation for the interface between CPUs and the ISA code. While doing so, this changeset also fixes up interface inconsistencies between the different CPU models. The main argument for using one set of ISA code per CPU model has always been performance as this avoid indirect branches in the generated code. However, this argument does not hold water. Booting Linux on a simulated ARM system running in atomic mode (opt/10.linux-boot/realview-simple-atomic) is actually 2% faster (compiled using clang 3.4) after applying this patch. Additionally, compilation time is decreased by 35%.

	automatic. The point is that now a subdirectory can be added to the build process just by creating a SConscript file in it. The process has two passes. On the first pass, all subdirs of the root of the tree are searched for SConsopts files. These files contain any command line options that ought to be added for a particular subdirectory. On the second pass, all subdirs of the src directory are searched for SConscript files. These files describe how to build any given subdirectory. I have added a Source() function. Any file (relative to the directory in which the SConscript resides) passed to that function is added to the build. Clean up everything to take advantage of Source(). function is added to the list of files to be built. --HG-- extra : convert_revision : 103f6b490d2eb224436688c89cdc015211c4fd30
