This v2 is based on 'EmbeddedPkg: generic support for reusing PCI drivers for
platform devices' [0] but it has seen some updates that justified changing the
name, and at Leif's request, it now targets MdeModulePkg not EmbeddedPkg.

The rationale for this series is the fact that many ARM platforms implement
some form of PCI 'emulation', to allow non-discoverable devices that implement
standardized host controller interfaces (i.e., EHCI, AHCI) to be controlled by
the generic EDK2 drivers, which are layered on top of the PCI I/O protocols
(even though the respective host controller specifications don't mandate that)

There are a couple of problems with that approach:
- Most implementations are based on the original code created for BeagleBoard,
  which is a 32-bit platform. Unlike x86, which usually does not perform PCI
  DMA above 4 GB, the ARM ecosystem is much more heterogeneous, and platforms
  that have memory both above and below the 4 GB mark may ship with, e.g., EHCI
  controllers that do not implement 64-bit DMA addressing.
- Implementations depend on the DmaLib library class in EmbeddedPkg, of which
  coherent and non-coherent implementations exists. However, both types of
  devices may appear on a single platform, requiring several instances of the
  same driver.
- Existing implementations do not follow the UEFI driver model, but instantiate
  a fixed number of PCI I/O protocol handles, and bring up all the devices when
  doing so. However, the UEFI philosophy is to only instantiate (and thus
  initialize) devices that are involved in booting.

So instead, let's define a base protocol that simply asserts the presence of
a certain kind of device at a certain memory offset, allowing platforms to
instantiate any number of these statically, and leave it to post-DXE driver
dispatch to actually bind the drivers as usual. This is implemented in patch #1.
Note that it includes an AMBA device type, which we intend to use in the future
to move ARM AMBA drivers to the UEFI driver model as well (i.e., LCD controller,
SD/MMC controller)

Patch #2 implements a utility library to register non-discoverable devices.

Patch #3 implements the UEFI driver that instantiates PCI I/O protocol handles
for non-discoverable devices that we know can be driven by a generic driver in
EDK2. The initial version implements coherent DMA only.

Patch #4 implements non-coherent DMA for the driver added in patch #3.

Patch #5 is included for reference. It ports the BeagleBoard platform to the
new driver stack.
