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...

Resolve serious bug inserted by the "target: require working
area for physical/virtual addresses to be specified" patch.
It forced use of (invalid) virtual addresses when the MMU
was disabled, and vice versa.
Observed to break at least Cortex-M3, ARM926, ARM7TDMI whenever
work areas are used, such as during bulk writes to flash, DDR2,
SRAM, and so on.
Also, fix overlong lines and whitespace goofs.

Move various embedded target structs to the beginnings of
their containers ... pretty much the way C++ or Obj-C
would for single inheritance.
This shrinks code that accesses those embedded structs by
letting common offsets use smaller instructions. Sample
before/after sizes (on amd64):
17181 312 0 17493 4455 arm920t.o
16810 312 0 17122 42e2 arm920t.o
Where the "after" is the smaller number, with this patch
over the ones leveraging that embedding knowledge.

Use new target_to_cm3() and target_to_armv7m() inlines,
instead of a series of x->arch_info conversions. Remove
arch_info, since nothing uses it.
Also fix an omission: the Cortex-M3 commands didn't verify
that they were operating on that kind of target. Add comment
about the ARMv7M version of that omission.

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).

The forward decls are just code clutter; remove them, by moving
their references after definitions. This is another file which
never needed even one internal forward declaration.
Also shrink a few overly-long lines with function declarations
or definitions; get rid of arm7tdmi_register_commands(), it's
not needed (just delegated); minor whitespace declutter.

An init_target() wrapper isn't needed, and target_create()
can shrink a bit. Add a header comment and some doxygen.
Remove arm926ejs_catch_broken_irscan() which has been a NOP
for quite a few months now, and in any case duplicates logic
in the JTAG core to validate IR capture data. But force the
capture mask to 0x0f, so those tests are most effective.

This eliminates redundant code for parsing and retreiving the bank
specified from a script command argument. This patch was written to
replace existing functionality; however, the parsing logic can be
updated later to allow flash commands to accept bank names as well as
their numbers.
