There are two names that may matter on a per-target basis.
One is a per-instance name (for example, "at91sam7s.cpu").
The other is the name of its type (for example, "arm7tdmi"),
which is shared among multiple targets.
Currently target_get_name() returns the type name, which is
misleading and is rarely appropriate for target diagnostics.
Rename that as target_type_name().

Alliteration aside, this should provide the final piece of the puzzle
for developers that want to get started writing a new target type.
In this way, it also seeks to complement the 'dummy' interface driver
and 'faux' NOR flash driver.
Adding jim_handler field to command_registration allows removing the
register_jim helper. All command registrations now go through the
register_command{,s}() functions.
Converts callback to an array of command_registration records.
Moves oocd_trace driver definition to end of file to eliminate
useless forward declaration.
Uses chaining of command_registration structures to eliminate all
target_type register_callback routines. Exports the command_handler
registration arrays for those target types that are used by others.
There was a lot of needless handshaking overhead in the current
Cortex-A8 DCC/ITR operations, since the status read by each step
was discarded rather than letting the next step know it.
This shrinks the handshaking by: (a) passing status along from
previous steps, avoiding re-fetching; which enables the big win
(b) relying on a useful invariant: that the DSCR_INSTR_COMP bit
is set after every call to a DPM method.
A "reg sp_usr" call previously took 17 flushes; now it takes just 9.
This visibly speeds common operations like entry to debug state and
stepping, as well as "arm reg" and so on.

This replaces two versions of register access functions. One
was commented out, and seemed to have uncertain intent. The
other was fairly new, and helped motivate the DPM framework
once I observed that the ARM11 was doing the very same ops.

This implements the DPM interface for Cortex-A8 cores. It
also adds a synchronization operation to the DPM framework,
which is needed by the Cortex-A8 after CPSR writes.

Make various functions static, add some comments, report
vector catch as a flavor of DBG_REASON_BREAKPOINT, get
rid of needless/undesirable ARMV4_5_CORE_REG_MODE, etc.

This finishes the basic switchover to the new register code,
for everything except the debug registers. (And maybe we
shouldn't have a cache for *those* which works this way...)
The context save/restore code now uses the new code, but
it's in a slightly different sequence. That should be fine
since the R0/PC/CPSR stuff is all that really matters (and
if we can update those, we can update the rest).
Now there's no longer a way any code can be confused about
which copy of "r1" (etc) to use.

As with single stepping, the previous stuff was needed because
the ARM11 code wasn't using the standard ARM base type and
register access ... but now those mechanisms work, so we can
switch out that special-purpose glue, in favor of the more
thoroughly tested/capable "standard" code.
Fixes a bug in the resume() implementation: it wasn't handling
two of its arguments correctly, preventing the "flash erase_check"
algorithm from working. (This code needs a *subsequent* update
for correct register handling, though... removing the confusion
about which "r2", for example, to use.)
This should resolve some "FIXME" comments too, for Thumb and
processor mode support. It also gets rid of a nasty exit()
call; servers should only have *clean* shutdown paths.

The previous stuff was needed because the ARM11 code wasn't using
the standard ARM base type and register access ... but now those
mechanisms work, so we can switch out that special-purpose glue.
This should resolve all the "FIXME -- handle Thumb single stepping"
comments too, and properly handle the processor's mode. (Modulo
the issue that this code doesn't yet handle two-byte breakpoints.)
Clarify the comments about the the hardware single stepping. When
we eventually share breakpoint code with Cortex-A8, we can just make
that be the default on cores which support it. We may still want an
override command, not just to facilitate testing but to cope with
"instruction address mismatch" not quite being true single-step.

This provides "standard" ARM register support -- with twenty or
more shadow registers on top of what this code now handles, but
properly associated with the various core modes -- parallel to
the current register code. That is, the current code is stilil
managing the "current" registers; the new code shadows them.
You can see all the registers with "arm reg", modify the shadows
like "r8_fiq" or "sp_abt" with "reg", and see them get properly
written back when you step. (Just don't do that with any of the
registers managed by the "old" code ...)
It also switches to using more standard code, relying on those
standard registers, in two places: (a) the poll status display,
which now shows core state (ARM/Thumb/...) and mode (Supervisor,
IRQ, etc); and (b) GDB register access.
So it's not a full migration, there are warts -- every place that
touches the old register cache is a potential bug -- but it's a
small more-or-less-comprehensible step that's even somewhat useful.
Later patches complete the migration.

This was a private mechanism to snapshot registers before leaving
debug state, and then on reentry to optionally display what changed.
It was coupled to the private register cache, which won't be sticking
around in that form for much longer. Remove (instead of teaching
it how to handle *all* the registers).
(The idea is interesting, but we ought to be able to implement
this in a generic way. Ideally through Tcl scripts that can
automatically be invoked following debug entry...)

This is a very thin layer over some of the current ARM11

First version of interface for sharing code between ARMv6 and ARMv7a
debug modules ... now the architecture includes debug support. (Not
the same as for the trimmed-down v7m or v6m though!) This is a first
version of an interface that will let the ARM11 and Cortex-A8 support
share code, features, and bugfixes. Based on existing code from both
of those cores.
The ARM v7-AR architecture specification calls this commonality the
"Debug Programmer's Model (DPM)", which seemed to be an appropriate
acronym -- a TLA even! -- for use in our code. Made it so. :)
The initial scope of this just supports register access, and is geared
towards supporting top level "struct arm" mechanisms. Later, things
like breakpoint and watchpoint support should be included.

For now there's no point in saving this stuff after examine()
checks it out as OK. Ditto exporting symbols that aren't
used outside of the module which defines them. In fact, those
two things needlessly complicate the code...

Make this code look more like the rest of the OpenOCD code.
- Use calloc() directly, not NEW() ... and fix some potential
memory leaks while we're at it.
- Remove FNC_INFO ... it's a NOP that just clutters things,
and it's trivial for developers to add tracing as needed.
- Replace FNC_INFO_NOTIMPLEMENTED with LOG_WARNING calls;
ditto. And stop having those call sites wrongly succeed!
- Waste less space with the CHECK_RETVAL() macro.

This will allow data to be allocated in read only
memory instead of on the stack. Speeds things up
