Subject: [patch] yet another small Machine cleanup
Hi mamedev,
This patch modifies the tms34010.h, pc16552.h, and tms34061.h
interfaces to eliminate some more global Machine variables. Six more
deprecat.h includes eliminated.
FYI, 128u5 had 523 deprecat.h includes and ~1400 Machine variables,
now were down to 374 and ~420 respectively, so progress is being made.

Hi Arron,
Here is the patch.
Problem was in EI handling and not clearing of interrupt enable flag, as I did in previous. So now EI is done as in Z80 since it is working same way. I have tried a invaders clone having problem, now they work, also MESS machine for which I initialy did this works.
Hope this will be in u6.

Subject: [patch] deprecat.h cpu cleanup
Hi mamedev,
This patch purges the last few uses of deprecat.h from the cpu cores,
plus a handful of other Machine cases elsewhere that were found by
script inspection.

Hi mamedev,
This patch eliminates most uses of deprecat.h in the sound cores by
attaching the device to the state object and using it where
appropriate. Given that all the cpu objects use this convention, and
three sound cores already do this, this seemed an appropriate
approach.

Subject: [patch] verboselog changes for future Machine removal
Hi mamedev,
Several mame files use an inline verboselog definition which saves
typing the cpuexec_describe_context repeatedly. While this is a nice
feature, each case introduces a then hard to remove deprecated Machine
variable. One way to fix this would be to add machine to the
parameter list for each verboselog call. Another way would be to
change them to include the context call explicitly inside a typical
logging macro (e.g. decocass.h). Not knowing which would be more
acceptable to mamedev, I've included patches for both.

(I chose to pass the machine to the verboselog function.)
