With this code we can successfully boot and context switch into
the main thread. Nanokernel hello_world has the expected
"Hello World!" string in the RAM console.

If XIP is turned on, only hardware breakpoints may be used, and
code cannot be loaded onto the device with nios2-download
or GDB 'load' command. RAM-constrained applications are free to
enable this if they need to.

When an image is sent over the wire with the GDB 'load' command,
it tries to start execution from the __start symbol, which needs to
be in RAM. Since the reset vector is in ROM, name it something else.

Kconfig doesn't enforce any kind of alignment when specifying the
ISR stack size. Perform the assembly equivalent of STACK_ROUND_DOWN.

CONFIG_INIT_STACKS should initialize all stack regions
with 0xaa. Make sure the initial interrupt stack gets this
as well. Take care not to exceed the bounds of the array
if it is not 4-byte aligned.

Use a kbuild trick to force built-in.o to get built even if there isn't
any code so we can link properly. This is cleaner than keeping around
empty files that don't do anything.

We will require 6 variables to be defined by SOC-specific
linker script; these values in turn can be pulled from
defines in layout.h.
To help position code correctly we define two new ELF sections
for this arch, 'reset' and 'exceptions'.

Nios II does not have a power saving instruction, so there is nothing
to really do here other than ensure that interrupts are in the correct
state when leaving nano_cpu_atomic_idle().

For the moment, NIOS2_CPU_SOF must be set with the path to the
CPU configuration. We are checking with Altera on whether we
can directly check in the binary to the source tree.
These scripts depend on tools provided by the Altera Quartus
Prime Lite Edition. This is available for free but requires
registration on Altera's website to obtain.

Altera tools for creating .pof files for flashing onto their

the current 'all' and 'zephyr' targets to additionally create
this .hex file using objcopy, with the same exclusions as the
existing rule for .bin files.

__start is the CPU's reset vector. In a typical Nios II configuration,
the exception vector is 0x20 bytes after the reset vector, severely
constraining the amount of code that can go in here.
Split this into __start and __text_start. The only thing that __start
really need to do is init the instruction cache and jump into
__text_start.

BSP builds for Nios II generate a linker.h and system.h which reflects
the configuration for that CPU. This can vary depending on how the CPU
is wired up in QSYS, so it needs to be at the SOC level--we essentially
treat any given CPU configuration as a SOC in Zephyr build terms.
Include these files from <arch/cpu.h>.

At the moment this just jumps into prep_c, with comments left
on other things that need to be done. Having this here ensures that
the early boot code isn't discarded by gc-sections.
vector_table.c removed, it isn't the right approach for this CPU.
Proper method for initializing reset and exception vectors still
being investigated.

Basic build framework for Nios2. Everything is stubbed out,
we just want to have a build going so that we can start to
parallelize implementation tasks.
This patch is not intended to be functional, but should be
able to produce a binary for all the nanokernel-based
sanity checks.
