At this point, we plan to develop a pci device driver to act as a bridge

No need for a set of tools. As long as your SystemC simulator simulates
an entire platform -- CPU, DRAM, etc. -- then you can boot Linux on the
simulated platform.
If you can boot Linux on the simulated platform, then you can easily
develop a Linux driver long before real HW is available.
No, this approach is not feasible because it would be require to
describe the entire computer in SystemC: it's extremly complex to do and
the simulation will be very slow.
From what I understand Màrius tries to only simulate one component
(like a PCI card). As suggested Muli, a plugin to something like quemu
sounds like a good idea?
