Add support for Arm sbsa [1] v0.3+ that is supported by QEMU [2].
Unlike other Arm based platforms the machine only provides a minimal
FDT that contains number of CPUs, ammount of memory and machine-version.
The boot firmware has to provide ACPI tables to the OS.
Due to this design a full DTB is added here as well that allows U-Boot's
driver to properly function. The DTB is appended at the end of the U-Boot
image and will be merged with the QEMU provided DTB.
In addition provide documentation how to use, enable binman to fabricate both
ROMs that are required to boot and add ACPI tables to make it full compatible
to the EDK2 reference implementation.
The board was tested using Fedora 40 Aarch64 Workstation. It's able
to boot from USB and AHCI or network.
Tested and found working:
- serial
- PCI
- xHCI
- Bochs display
- AHCI
- network using e1000e
- CPU init
- Booting Fedora 40

A number of platforms have "common" directories that are in turn not
listed by the board MAINTAINERS file. Add these directories in many
cases.

This adds support for '-machine virt' on AArch64. This is rather simple:
we just add TARGET_QEMU_ARM_xxBIT to select a few different Kconfig
symbols, provide the ARMv8 memory map from the board file and add a new
defconfig based on the 32-bit defconfig.

This board builds an U-Boot binary that is bootable with QEMU's 'virt'
machine on ARM. The minimal QEMU command line is:
qemu-system-arm -machine virt,highmem=off -bios u-boot.bin
(Note that the 'highmem=off' parameter to the 'virt' machine is required for
PCI to work in U-Boot.) This command line enables the following:
- u-boot.bin loaded and executing in the emulated flash at address 0x0
- A generated device tree blob placed at the start of RAM
- A freely configurable amount of RAM, described by the DTB
- A PL011 serial port, discoverable via the DTB
- An ARMv7 architected timer
- PSCI for rebooting the system
- A generic ECAM-based PCI host controller, discoverable via the DTB
Additionally, QEMU allows plugging a bunch of useful peripherals to the PCI bus.
The following ones are supported by both U-Boot and Linux:
- To add a Serial ATA disk via an Intel ICH9 AHCI controller, pass e.g.:
-drive if=none,file=disk.img,id=mydisk -device ich9-ahci,id=ahci -device ide-drive,drive=mydisk,bus=ahci.0
- To add an Intel E1000 network adapter, pass e.g.:
-net nic,model=e1000 -net user
- To add an EHCI-compliant USB host controller, pass e.g.:
-device usb-ehci,id=ehci
- To add a NVMe disk, pass e.g.:
-drive if=none,file=disk.img,id=mydisk -device nvme,drive=mydisk,serial=foo
