Revert "target: add target->type->has_mmu fn"
This patch introduced a bug preventing flash writes from working
on Cortex-M3 targets like the STM32. Moreover, it's the wrong
approach for handling no-MMU targets.
The right way to handle no-MMU targets is to provide accessors
for physical addresses, and use them everywhere; and any code
which tries to work with virtual-to-physical mappings should use
a identity mapping (which can be defaulted).
And ... we can tell if a target has an MMU by seeing if it's
got an mmu() method. No such methood means no MMU.

finish removing deprecated/obsolete commands
It's been about a year since these were deprecated and, in most
cases, removed. There's no point in carrying that documentation,
or backwards compatibility for "jtag_device" and "jtag_speed",
around forever. (Or a few remnants of obsolete code...)
Removed a few obsolete uses of "jtag_speed":
- The Calao stuff hasn't worked since July 2008. (Those Atmel
targets need to work with a 32KHz core clock after reset until
board-specific init-reset code sets up the PLL and enables a
faster JTAg clock.)
- Parport speed controls don't actually work (tops out at about
1 MHz on typical HW).
- In general, speed controls need to live in board.cfg files (or
sometimes target.cfg files), not interface.cfg ...

Overhaul time support API
This patch changes the duration_* API in several ways. First, it
updates the API to use better names. Second, string formatting has
been removed from the API (with its associated malloc). Finally, a
new function added to convert the time into seconds, which can be
used (or formatted) by the caller. This eliminates hidden calls to
malloc that require associated calls to free().
This patch also removes the useless extern keyword from prototypes,
and it eliminates the duration_t typedef (use 'struct duration').
These API also allows proper error checking, as it is possible for
gettimeofday to fail in certain circumstances.
The consumers have all been chased to use this new API as well, as
there were relatively few cases doing this type of measurement.
In most cases, the code performs additional checks for errors, but
the calling code looks much cleaner in every case.

target.cfg: remove "-work-area-virt 0"
The semantics of "-work-area-virt 0" (or phys) changed with
the patch to require specifying physical or virtrual work
area addresses. Specifying zero was previously a NOP. Now
it means that address zero is valid.
This patch addresses three related issues:
- MMU-less processors should never specify work-area-virt;
remove those specifications. Such processors include
ARM7TDMI, Cortex-M3, and ARM966.
- MMU-equipped processors *can* specify work-area-virt...
but zero won't be appropriate, except in mischievous
contexts (which hide null pointer exceptions).
Remove those specs from those processors too. If any of
those mappings is valid, someone will need to submit a
patch adding it ... along with a comment saying what OS
provides the mapping, and in which context. Example,
say "works with Linux 2.6.30+, in kernel mode". (Note
that ARM Linux doesn't map kernel memory to zero ...)
- Clarify docs on that "-virt" and other work area stuff.
Seems to me work-area-virt is quite problematic; not every
operating system provides such static mappings; if they do,
they're not in every MMU context...

target: provide container_of()
Provide a cleaner way to handle single inheritance of targets
in C, using the same model Linux does: structs containing other
structs, un-nested via calls to a "container_of()" macro that
are packaged in typesafe inline functions.
Targets already use this containment idiom, but make it much
more complicated because they un-nest using embedded "void *"
pointers ... in chains of up to five per target, which is all
pure needless complication. (Example: arm92x core, arm9tdmi,
arm7_9, armv4_5 ... on top of the base "target" class.)
Applying this scheme consistently simplifies things, and gets
rid of many error-prone untyped pointers. It won't change any
part of the type model though -- it just simplifies things.
(And facilitates more cleanup later on.)
Rule of thumb: where there's an X->arch_info void* pointer,
access to that pointer can and should be removed. It may be
convenient to set up pointers to some of the embedded structs;
and shrink their current "*_common" names (annoyingly long).

Cortex-M3: expose most DWT registers
Expose most DWT registers via Tcl; there are a few more, but
those are mostly for profiling along with the ITM. Having
this set available enables operations which aren't possible

The cycle counter may be interesting. Turn it on after reset
by setting the LSB of the dwt_ctrl register, and it counts
CPU clocks. You can program the comparator 0 watchpoint to
trigger on a given cycle count, rather than a data address.
Likewise, comparator 1 may be able to match data values given
address matches from one or two other comparators. (Not all
hardware supports this capability though; try it. That is
something the standard watchpoint methods should eventually
handle, for the single address case.)
