[PATCH, RFC] default machine descriptor for multiplatform

This is what I think it would look like to do a default platform
with an empty machine descriptor on ARM. It makes the few required
entries in the descriptor optional by using the new irqchip_init()
and clocksource_of_init() functions as defaults, and adds
a fallback for the DT case to customize_machine to probe all
the default devices.

For the case that CONFIG_MULTIPLATFORM is enabled, it then
adds a machine descriptor that never matches any machine but
is used as a fallback if nothing else matches.
