These are no longer split out and shared in the root build/ directory.
This does result in a small amount of overhead from building redundant
copies of these files, although the overhead is not significant. When
building 7 different variants of gem5, all the ISAs and NULL, the
difference on my machine was:
Before:
real 41m25.372s
user 914m22.266s
sys 41m51.816s
After:
real 42m38.074s
user 921m36.852s
sys 43m2.949s
This is about a 2-3% difference, which is a worse than typical case,
since the overhead scales with the number of variants being built.
The benefit of pulling ext/ into the variant directory is that there can
now be a single config which applies to all files used to build gem5,
and that config is represented by the variant of gem5 being built.

Add revision 9adf9d6e2d889a483a92136c96eb8a434d360561 of NoMali-model
from https://github.com/ARM-software/nomali-model. This library
implements the register interface of the Mali T6xx/T7xx series GPUs,
but doesn't do any rendering. It can be used to hide the effects of
software rendering.
