v5: Change back to ARMv7M from ARMMProfile
v4: Fix number of IRQs
v3: Rebase on Stefan's cortex-m0 series
v2: Addresses review from Peter and Stefan

Based-on: [e-mail]

This short series implements a minimal definition of the Nordic
Semiconductor nRF51, a Cortex-M0 ARM SoC, and the BBC micro:bit, a
machine that will use this SoC.

This work will serve as the base for our Google Summer of Code and
Outreachy interns who will work on implementing a number of features on
top of this base.

I've tested this with a microbit micropython firmware, and checked that
it starts running by looking at it with gdb.

I chose to keep the nrf51 and the microbit seperate, to not confuse the
peripherals that are on the microbit but are not part of the nrf51, and
vice versa.

Hi Joel; it looks like my review of v4 crossed in the mail
with your sending out v5. I think that my comments on
the v4 patch 3 still applies to v5, though (as does my
reviwed-by tag on patch 1).

thanks
