Benjamin Herrenschmidt 599fad117b litedram: Remove old "VexRiscV" based initializations
Support for this has bitrotted and would require refactoring of L2 to
be brought back. It's also not really needed anymore now that we ship
pre-generated litedram and that LiteX supports what we do.

So take it out, which simplifies some of the scripts as well. This also
fixes up CSR alignment the sim model.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt bf1b98b958 litedram: Add support for booting without BRAM
This adds an option to disable the main BRAM and instead copy a
payload stashed along with the init code in the secondary BRAM
into DRAM and boot from there

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 6fe077910b litedram: Add simulation support
This adds a simulated litedram model along with the necessary
Makefile gunk to verilate it and wrap it for use by ghdl.

The core_dram_tb test bench is a variant of core_tb with
LiteDRAM simulated. It's not built by default, an explicit

make core_dram_tb

is necessary as to not require verilator to be installed for
the normal build process (also it's slow'ish).

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 982cf166dd litedram: Add basic support for LiteX LiteDRAM
This comes in two parts:

 - A generator script which uses LiteX to generate litedram cores
along with their init files for various boards (currently Arty and
Nexys-video). This comes with configs for arty and nexys_video.

 - A fusesoc "generator" which uses pre-generated litedram cores

The generation process is manual on purpose. This include pre-generated
cores for the two above boards.

This is done so that one doesn't have to install LiteX to build
microwatt. In addition, the generator script or wrapper vhdl tend to
break when LiteX changes significantly which happens.

This is still rather standalone and hasn't been plumbed into the SoC
or the FPGA toplevel files yet.

At this point LiteDRAM self-initializes using a built-in VexRiscv
"Minimum" core obtained from LiteX and included in this commit. There
is some plumbing to generate and cores that are initialized by Microwatt
directly but this isn't working yet and so isn't enabled yet.
