Split GIC in SMP examples (in #127) #135

Description

@jonathanpallant

Rather than:

static GLOBAL_GIC: Mutex<RefCell<Option<arm_gic::gicv3::GicV3<'static>>>> = Mutex::new(RefCell::new(None));

We should have

static GLOBAL_GIC_DIST: Mutex<RefCell<Option<arm_gic::gicv3::GicDistributor<'static>>>> = Mutex::new(RefCell::new(None));

pub unsafe fn get_redist() -> arm_gic::gicv3::GicRedistributor<'static> {
   // Read MPIDR register, and return the GIC Redistributor object for that particular core
}

That is, we have one global, shared, Mutex-projected object for the Distributor, and local per-core objects for the Redistributor.
