Subject: arch-arm: generic method for getting an ArmSystem

This patch provides a generic method for casting a System object
into an ArmSystem object. This is specially useful in dev-arm,
since devices by default obtain a generic System reference which
needs to be casted to use ArmSystem-specific functionality.
