Provide amendments to the MIPS generic platform framework so that
the new generic-based board Ranchu can be chosen to be built.
The Ranchu board is intended to be used by Android emulator. The name
"Ranchu" originates from Android development community. "Goldfish" and
"Ranchu" are terms used for two generations of virtual boards used by
Android emulator. The name "Ranchu" is a newer one among the two, and
this patch deals with Ranchu. However, for historical reasons, some
devices/drivers still contain the name "Goldfish".
MIPS Ranchu machine includes a number of Goldfish devices. The support
for Virtio devices is also included. Ranchu board supports up to 16
Virtio devices which can be attached using Virtio MMIO Bus. This is
summarized in the following picture:

Device Tree is created on the QEMU side based on the information about
devices IO map and IRQ numbers. Kernel will load this DTB using UHI
boot protocol DTB handover mode.

Introduce a "generic" platform, which aims to be board-agnostic by
making use of device trees passed by the boot protocol defined in the
MIPS UHI (Universal Hosting Interface) specification. Provision is made
for supporting boards which use a legacy boot protocol that can't be
changed, but adding support for such boards or any others is left to
followon patches.
Right now the built kernels expect to be loaded to 0x80100000, ie. in
kseg0. This is fine for the vast majority of MIPS platforms, but
nevertheless it would be good to remove this limitation in the future by
mapping the kernel via the TLB such that it can be loaded anywhere & map
itself appropriately.
Configuration is handled by dynamically generating configs using
scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh, somewhat similar to the way powerpc
makes use of it. This allows for variations upon the configuration, eg.
differing architecture revisions or subsets of driver support for
differing boards, to be handled without having a large number of
defconfig files.
