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 573b6b4bc4 soc: Rework interconnect
This changes the SoC interconnect such that the main 64-bit wishbone out
of the processor is first split between only 3 slaves (BRAM, DRAM and a
general "IO" bus) instead of all the slaves in the SoC.

The IO bus leg is then latched and down-converted to 32 bits data width,
before going through a second address decoder for the various IO devices.

This significantly reduces routing and timing pressure on the main bus,
allowing to get rid of frequent timing violations when synthetizing on
small'ish FPGAs such as the Artix-7 35T found on the original Arty board.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 025cf5efe8 syscon: Add syscon registers
These provides some info about the SoC (though it's still somewhat
incomplete and needs more work, see comments).

There's also a control register for selecting DRAM vs. BRAM at 0
(and for soft-resetting the SoC but that isn't wired up yet).
