This commit contains the rest of the base 2 vs base 10 cache/memory
size clarifications. It also changes the warning message to use
warn(). With these changes, the warning message should now no
longer show up during a fresh compilation of gem5.

Add `--pmu-dump-stats-on <event>` and `--pmu-reset-stats-on <event>`
options to the Arm `baremetal.py` config to optionally dump and/or
reset stats on various PMU events.
These options allow the user to specify which PMU events should cause
the dumping or resetting of gem5 stats. The available `<event>`s are
PMU `enable`, `disable`, `reset`, and `interrupt`. Both these CLI
options may be specified multiple times to enable more than one event
to cause a stats dump/reset if desired. Stats are dumped before they
are reset.
These options are useful for sampled simulation workloads (e.g.
SimPoints) which are controlled by the PMU.

Add an option to add a PMU to the CPUs in `starter_fs.py` and
`baremetal.py`. By default PMUs will not be added.
Also adds an `--arm-ppi-number` option. Each PMU will be connected to
its core using the specified PPI.

Removed the calls to `sys.exit()` from the Arm simple configs. These
calls terminate gem5's embedded Python interpreter and gem5 at the end
of the config script, preventing gem5 from dropping into the
interactive IPython shell when the `--interactive` option has been
specified.

Only the GICv3 model has a `gicv4` parameter, causing the current
`baremetal.py` config to throw an exception when used with the
VExpress_GEM5_V1 platform containing a GICv2.
This patch checks for the existence of the `gicv4` parameter, allowing
all VExpress platforms to be used.

gem5 supports Tarmac trace generation for Arm simulations, but there
are no examples of how to use this feature.
This patch adds a `--tarmac-gen` option to three of the simple Arm
configs. Tarmac generation is useful for out-of-the-box users, and
this patch also provides an example of how to use the Tarmac
generation feature.

An example case,
```python
mem_side_port = RequestPort(
"This port sends requests and " "receives responses"
)
```
This is the residue of running the python formatter.
This is done by finding all tokens matching the regex `"\s"(?![.;"])`
and manually replacing them by empty strings.

The function had been introduced in the past when we needed to
instantiate either an ArmSystem or a LinuxArmSystem depending on the
workload. Now that the workload object has been introduced in gem5, we
always instantiate an ArmSystem in FS mode, hence we don't need a
function to generate the System object

The baremetal platform is the platform we use for running
user supplied binaries on baremetal hardware.
(simply put, it runs provided binaries without adding
a gem5 bootloader)
Some layers of this software stack might not have a pci driver.
This might be the case for firmware images like edkII
which needs to use a block device to extract the bootloader
and/or the kernel image. Those can use the memory mapped
(in host domain) virtio block device which is already
part of the VExpress_GEM5 platforms

Information about what kernel to load and how to load it was built
into the System object and its subclasses. That overloaded the System
object and made it responsible for too many things, and also was
somewhat awkward when working with SE mode which doesn't have a kernel.
This change extracts the kernel and information related to it from the
System object and puts into into a OsKernel or Workload object.
Currently the idea of a "Workload" to run and a kernel are a bit
muddled, an unfortunate carry-over from the original code. It's also an
implication of trying not to make too sweeping of a change, and to
minimize the number of times configs need to change, ie avoiding
creating a "kernel" parameter which would shortly thereafter be
renamed to "workload".
In future changes, the ideas of a kernel and a workload will be
disentangled, and workloads will be expanded to include emulated
operating systems which shephard and contain Process-es for syscall
emulation.
This change was originally split into pieces to make reviewing it
easier. Those reviews are here:
