Summary

Some IVAR indices are special in that they have global meaning across
multiple buses where as other IVARs are always private to the local bus.
Try to document this a bit and add constants for the various ranges to
avoid future conflicts.

This is mostly a no-op except for some buses that started their IVAR
indices at 1 instead of 0. Those buses now start at 0 after this
change. Also, IVAR indices are now generally defined as enum's as
that makes it easier to define them.

114	Are you planning on MFCing this change? If not then we could just drop them.
sys/sys/bus.h
312	I don't think this is needed, the GICv3 ivars can be in the private space.

114	I might MFC this change but have a followup change that can't be merged that drops unused ivars.
sys/sys/bus.h
312	I was going to ask about these as followups. For now I just want to document what is there. Can the regular GIC IVARs also be in the private space?

sys/arm64/arm64/gic_v3_var.h
114	It's unused from 13 so you could name it `GICV3_IVAR_UNUSED` to make it self documenting. Wouldn't it be an issue for a MFC renumbering the 1-indexed ivars to be 0-indexed?
sys/sys/bus.h
312	The regular GIC IVARs are shared between the two GIC drivers so can't be in the private space. If you keep it then the name should be `BUS_IVARS_GICV3`. I'll have a GICv5 driver in the next few weeks, but that can use the private space.

sys/arm64/arm64/gic_v3_var.h
114	Oh, yes, so perhaps I won't MFC after all. Still, I think removing the unused entries as a separate commit is easier to review, etc.
sys/sys/bus.h
312	Have you considered just having a single set of GIC IVARs shared by all the drivers btw?
