Enable L4Linux network access on Raspberry Pi-b.

[Lei Zhou]

Hi Adam & Hackers,

Has anybody enabled network access for L4linux Raspberry pi3?     I read through all the history on related topics and understand the process to get it working.  I summarized the steps as below and major problem for me is how to convert device tree for L4linux and compose corresponding rpi_deices.io configuration.   Please see my specific question inlined in those steps.    Thanks in advance for your feedback.

1.  configure and Compile l4linux to support flattened device tree support.  Also enables 
           CONFIG_USB_LAN78XX=y  &&                                                   
           CONFIG_USB_USBNET=y 
           CONFIG_USB_NET_SMSC95XX=y
           CONFIG_L4_SERVER = y
           CONFIG_USE_OF = y
2. Adapt https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/blob/rpi-4.19.y/arch/arm/boot/dts/bcm2710-rpi-3-b.dts into ./l4linux/arch/l4/boot/dts/simple.dts
   [Lei's question]:  I understand why  bcm2710-rpi-3-b.dts cannot be used directly because some of the reg_address physical address doesn't apply and might fail to be mapped.   How can I pick network access specific device nodes and its dependancies(power or clock etc) and how to change those illegal reg_address?      

3. Create an rpi3_devices.io for L4Re with the devices and their resources and assign the desired devices to a vbus.
    [Lei's question]:  Should I define all device nodes one-2-one mapping from step 2's device tree? 

4. Update your ned script and modules.list

5. Build final bootstrap_l4linux.uimage for Raspberry.

Thanks very much!
