[PATCH v2 00/20] hw/arm: Store the ARM boot info in the machine state

Most ARM board files declare their struct arm_boot_info as a static
object at file scope (or, occasionally, as a function-local static
inside the machine init function). arm_load_kernel() stashes a pointer
to that struct in every CPU and dereferences it from do_cpu_reset() on
each reset, so the boot info conceptually belongs to the machine for the
lifetime of the VM, not to a static object whose ownership is left
implicit.

This is a longstanding leftover pattern: modern machines such as virt,
raspi and xlnx-zcu102 already keep the boot info in their MachineState
subclass. This series converts the remaining machines that still use
a static object, moving the struct into their machine state so that its
lifetime and ownership match how arm_load_kernel() actually uses it.

Changes in v2:

Addressed 2 review comments from Peter:

- All assignments now use individual field writes (e.g.:
  bpms->bootinfo.loader_start = ...). This applies to: collie, cubieboard,
  exynos4, imx8mm-evk, integratorcp, kzm, mcimx7d-sabre, musicpal, npcm7xx,
  npcm8xx, omap_sx1, realview, sabrelite
- The following boards that previously used DEFINE_MACHINE_ARM/AARCH64 now
  use the macro DEFINE_MACHINE_EXTENDED() instead: bananapi_m2u,
  cubieboard, imx8mm-evk, integratorcp, mcimx7d-sabre, musicpal,
  orangepi-pc
