Collapsed device_config and device_t into one class. Updated all
existing modern devices and the legacy wrappers to work in this
environment. This in general greatly simplifies writing a modern
device. [Aaron Giles]

[O. Galibert, MetalliC, Tormod, D. Knute]

Started unifying sprite implementations for setax001/x002 chips
[David Haywood]

drcbex64: Fix op_debug implementation [O. Galibert]

Add Puzznic MCU dump and added a PAL as NO_DUMP. The MCU still needs

booting [O. Galibert]

Support for dynamic devices added to the core. [Miodrag Milanovic]

Hooked up proper sound program in Combat School bootleg [Angelo
Salese]

Moved format handling and all formats to separate library
[Miodrag Milanovic]

Converted PlayStation DMA to an internal device to the CPU core. DMA
to external devices can be set in the machine config, the old calls
are still there until the rest of the code is converted. [smf]

Added support for default NVRAM in MCCS1850. [Curt Coder]

Various Irem M92 / M107 fixes [Alex Jackson]
* Hooked up sound CPU interrupts properly, using the V35 builtin
    interrupt controller, rather than generating the vectors in the
    driver.
* Cleaned up ROM mirroring, using AM_REGION macros in the address
    maps instead of memcpy()ing all over the place in the
    DRIVER_INITs.
* Converted bankswitching to use configured banks. Only configure the
    banks and install the bankswitch WRITE_HANDLER in the games that
    actually use it (i.e. those with a full megabyte of program ROM).
    This and the previous change make the drivers a lot less confusing
    to look at... I hope.
* Converted both drivers to use a scanline timer device instead of a
    hand-rolled one.
* Added save state support to m92.c. Everything necessary was already
    saved, I just had to add the tag. However, presumably due to the
    core emu_timer breakage (MT 4330, 4331) the save states don't
    actually work at the moment. I've already reported this as MT
    #4333
* Added GAME_MECHANICAL tag to wpksoc and clone

Converted Ginga Ninkyouden to use proper 6840 PTM device
[Angelo Salese]

Fixed missing sprite regression in the Wiz driver [Angelo Salese]
