gem5: Add support for gem5's extended GIC mode

gem5's GIC model contains a gem5-specific extension that enables
support for up to 255 CPUs. When enabled, the GIC interprets registers
where a CPU bitmask would normally be present as a CPU ID.

This extensions need to be enabled by setting the OF compatible string
to "gem5,gic".

Kudos to Matt Evans for the original version of this patch.
