When running QEMU with "-M none -device loader,file=kernel.elf", it
currently crashes with a segmentation fault, because the "none"-machine
does not have any CPU by default and the generic loader code tries
to dereference s->cpu. Fix it by adding an appropriate check for a
NULL pointer.

This patch fixes the generic-loader file loading to only set the program
counter if a CPU is specified. This follows what is written in the
documentation and was always part of the original intention.

Add a generic loader to QEMU which can be used to load images or set
memory values.
Internally inside QEMU this is a device. It is a strange device that
provides no hardware interface but allows QEMU to monkey patch memory
specified when it is created. To be able to do this it has a reset
callback that does the memory operations.
This device allows the user to monkey patch memory. To be able to do
this it needs a backend to manage the datas, the same as other
memory-related devices. In this case as the backend is so trivial we
have merged it with the frontend instead of creating and maintaining a
seperate backend.
