Moving sizeram into read_resources/set_resources comes out fairly
clean, but it did require some grunt work.  

That has allowed me to sort out the device tree and have a fairly
generic method of initializing cpus.  Cpus don't fit into device
model methods as nicely as I would like (largely because their
methods have to run on the cpu in question).  But it does work
well enough I can remove the special case from hardwaremain.
I still have a special case in the root_device methods but
that can be overridden, if necessary.

    Because I have restructured where things fall in the device tree.
    Because I have removed the sizeram call.
    Because I have refactored x86 cpu handling.
    Because I have removed the array initial_apic_id.

Every port in the tree is likely to break when I check this code in.

I have the arima/hdama working and I can with a little care 
fix up the k8 based ports.

I can also likely fixup the recent e7501 forward port from the
freebios tree.

However beyond that I don't have testing resources to fix things up
so I am looking for some feedback before I break everything.

When in the next week or so is a good time?

Does any one have concerns about this set of changes?

I have attached my current version of hardwaremain below
to give a feel of what the changes look like.

Ok now I am off to bed.  Before I commit anything I am going to let
the code sit a little.  

Good Night, 

Eric
