This patch moves the GIC interface to a separate base class and makes
all interrupt devices use that base class instead of a pointer to the
PL390 implementation. This allows us to have multiple GIC
implementations. Future implementations will allow in-kernel GIC
implementations when using hardware virtualization.

When casting objects in the generated SWIG interfaces, SWIG uses
classical C-style casts ( (Foo *)bar; ). In some cases, this can
degenerate into the equivalent of a reinterpret_cast (mainly if only a
forward declaration of the type is available). This usually works for
most compilers, but it is known to break if multiple inheritance is
used anywhere in the object hierarchy.
This patch introduces the cxx_header attribute to Python SimObject
definitions, which should be used to specify a header to include in
the SWIG interface. The header should include the declaration of the
wrapped object. We currently don't enforce header the use of the
header attribute, but a warning will be generated for objects that do
not use it.

In order for a system object to work in SE mode and FS mode, it has to either
always require a platform object even in SE mode, or get rid of the
requirement all together. Making SE mode carry around unnecessary/unused bits
of FS seems less than ideal, so I decided to go with the second option. The
platform pointer in the System class was used for exactly one purpose, a path
for the Alpha Linux system object to get to the real time clock and read its
frequency so that it could short cut the loops_per_jiffy calculation. There
was also a copy and pasted implementation in MIPS, but since it was only there
because it was there in Alpha I still count that as one use.
This change reverses the mechanism that communicates the RTC frequency so that
the Tsunami platform object pushes it up to the AlphaSystem object. This is
slightly less specific than it could be because really only the
AlphaLinuxSystem uses it. Because the intrFrequency function on the Platform
class was no longer necessary (and unimplemented on anything but Alpha) it was
eliminated.
After this change, a platform will need to have a system, but a system won't
have to have a platform.
