Hi,

This PR implemented initial support for MIPS based CPUs, it implemented bios_map hook for CPU to deal with problem mentioned in #1903, fixed AHB bus handling then added two CPUs as examples.

Please review.

Thanks

For Python CI test I'm not sure what's the best way to provide source to CI action, probably create pythondata package for both?

Thanks for adding this!

For MIPS CPUs, there is a default memory translation (which VA =
PA + offset). BIOS needs to access memory with translated virtual
address.

Add bios_map hook and generated various address macros with _VA
suffix to allow BIOS to use virtual addresses. It is defaulted
to 1:1 mapping so it won't affect other CPUs.

MIPS toolchains are always capable for compiling to both
endian and bitness targets, so define a single CPU_GCC_TRIPLE_MIPS
to cover them all.

The LiteX framework provides a convenient and efficient infrastructure
to create FPGA Cores/SoCs.

We have implemented LiteX support for a couple of opensource MIPS
CPU cores including microAptiv UP from MIPS, GS232 from Loongson,
and CDIM from CQU.

For this platform, devicetree is generated by litex python scripts
so there is no devicetree addition necessary.

@FlyGoat: Sorry, I've been very busy recently. I'll have a closer look in late August/early September.
