Ronald G. Minnich f7ad196c0a This started out as a trivial change and turned into a big change. This
code boots and works on qemu and
alix1c. It represents a huge change and a huge improvement. There are a
few fixes left to do, which 
will come once this is in. 

This change started out easy: get the device IDs OUT of the the dts, and
into one place. We
decided the device IDs should be in the constructors ONLY. To make a
long story short, that just did 
not work out, and it revealed a flaw in the design. The result? 

- no more ids in the various dts files. 
- the constructor struct is gone -- one less struct, nobody liked the
  name anyway
- the device_operations struct now includes the device id.
- constructor property no longer used; use device_operations instead. 
- lpc replaced with ioport

All the changes below stem from this "simple" change. 

I am finding this new structure much easier to work with. I hope we're
done
on this for real, however!

TODO: 
1. Change limitation in dtc that makes it hard to use hex in pci@
notation. 

Now for the bad news. Sometime today, interrupts or io or something
stopped working between r596 and r602 -- but I did no commits at
that point. So something has gone wrong, but I don't think it's this
stuff.

I did try a build of HEAD, and it fails really, really badly. Much
more badly than this fails, so I think this commit is only going
to improve things. It does work fine on qemu, fails on alix1c, 
so I suspect one of today's "clean up commits" broke something.
