Add the missing .class_size definition to the arm_gic_info TypeInfo.
This fixes the memory corruption and possible segfault that otherwise
results when the class struct is allocated at too small a size and
the class init function writes off the end of it.

Oops. I suspect this only crashes on 32 bit hosts because the class
is only one field larger than its subclass, so on 64 bit systems
we are probably only overwriting padding rather than anything
important. For 1.2 since it fixes a segfault.

The patch fixes Valgrind error messages (tested on 64 bit Linux Debian
Squeeze)
and segfaults (seen on 32 bit Linux Ubuntu Lenny and on 64 bit Windows).
Anthony, please apply it to QEMU 1.2.

PS. Are there perhaps more bugs of this sort? A quick test looking
for .class_init without .class_size shows a lot of files.
