The "powerpc/shared/console" code has the start-up console value fixed
at 9600 baud. This changes the hard-wired constant "9600" in the code
to the configuration setting "BSP_CONSOLE_BAUD" and adds configuration
support in both the "waf" and the legacy configuration systems.
Note that the VME BSPs beatnik, mvme3100, and mve5100 can be improved
by adding a "mvmexxxx" BSP family. This configuration change, as well
as future configuration changes, could then be made in a "grp.yml" file.
- Add support to the BSP to enable irq-generic management
- Update the powerpc shared irq code to support irq-generic. This
is an opt in option for existing powerpc bsps. This change
should be simpler now
- Fix a number of issues in ISA IRQ controller handling by porting
fixes from the i386 (PC) BSP

rs6000: Remove -mstring
-mstring is only enabled by default on 601, and with -Os on some
configurations. It is almost always slower (than not using it) and
does not very often lead to smaller code.
This patch disables it. If a user uses -mstring he gets a warning
(but not with -mno-string). I left the target attribute in place, it
just doesn't do anything anymore.
The patch also deletes a whole bunch of code. The 'N' and 'O' output
modifiers are now unused, but now is not the time to delete them.
