999159a538 ARC: [DeviceTree] Basic support
This is minimal infrastructure needed for devicetree work.
It uses an a sample "skeleton" devicetree - embedded in kernel image -
to print the board, manufacturer by parsing the top-level "compatible"
string.

As of now we don't need any additional "board" specific "machine_desc".

TODO: support interpreting the command line as boot-loader passed dtb

cfdbc2e16e ARC: Build system: Makefiles, Kconfig, Linker script
Arnd in his review pointed out that arch Kconfig organisation has several
deficiencies:

* Build time entries for things which can be runtime extracted from DT
  (e.g. SDRAM size, core clk frequency..)
* Not multi-platform-image-build friendly (choice .. endchoice constructs)
* cpu variants support (750/770) is exclusive.

The first 2 have been fixed in subsequent patches.
Due to the nature of the 750 and 770, it is not possible to build for
both together, w/o special runtime glue code which would hurt
performance.
