All others will go (one of two already gone).

The thing is, I tried to get cps-vec-16550 and zboot work with UHI
semihosting, and soon find out that they are doing exactly the same
thing. So I tried to unify them.

I miss the good old day on Arm system that I can use handy debug_ll
functions for every low level debugging purpose, thus I just copied the
whole design.

There won't be any new debugging functions, zboot one already merged
into debug_ll in this series, cps-vec-ns16550 will be merged as well,
I've got patches prepared locally but depending on my XKPHYS changes.

We have extra functionality to debug early exception as well, that will
certainly make bring-up process easier.

Thanks.
