mpc8544ds Qemu BSP (likely variant of mvme3100)

[Joel Sherrill]

Qemu has a simulation of the mpc8544ds reference system (​https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/fact-sheet/MPC8544DSFS.pdf). This system should be very similar to the mvme3100 as both use an MPC854x as the main CPU which is a System on Chip and contains many core peripheral functions including network controller.

This would be a very helpful BSP to have running on Qemu as it would provide a PowerPC simulation target with Network capabilities.

Note: Initial development is expected only on Qemu.
