The
'configs/example/gem5_library_checkpoints/simpoints-se-checkpoint.py'
example would dump the savepoint in the CWD. This is fine when running
as an example, but we also run this script as a test. In this case the
checkpoint litters the repository.
To fix this, an optional 'checkpoint-path' argument is added to this
example which specifies where the checkpoint is to be saved. In the
tests, the checkpoint is saved to 'tests/gem5/resources'. This is our
default location for resources needed/produced by tests and is ignored
by git.

simpoints-se-checkpoint.py & simpoints-se-restore.py:
These are two example scripts to show how to use SimPoints functions with
the stdlib.
se_binary_workload.py:
Allow se_binary_workload to take in SimPoint Class item and schedule
SimPoint exit events.
exit_event.py:
Added SIMPOINT_BEGIN and MAX_INSTS exit events.
simulator.py:
Added SIMPOINT_BEGIN and MAX_INSTS exit event scheduling functions.
They can schedule exit events before or during the simulation.

This change consists of two scripts,
- riscv-hello-save-checkpoint.py: runs the first million ticks of the
simulation and save a checkpoint.
- riscv-hello-load-checkpoint.py: loads the above checkpoint, and runs
the rest of the simulation.
This change also adds the two scripts as part of quick tests.

This changes adds a new board to the gem5 stdlib, which is capable
of simulating an ARM based full system. It also adds an example
config script to perform a boot-test using an Ubuntu 18.04 disk
image. A test has been added in the gem5-library-example for the
same.

The main restriction with this design is it results in one ISA target
per board. The ISA is declared per core. To make the design simpler it's
assumed a Processor (a collection of cores) are all of the same ISA. As
each board has one processor, this also means a board is typically tied
to one ISA per simulation.
In order to remain backwards compatible and maintain the standard
library APIs, this patch adds a `--main-isa` parameter which will
determine what `gem5.runtime.get_runtime_isa` returns in cases where
mutliple ISAs are compiled in. When setting the ISA in a simulation (via
the Processor or Cores), the user may, as before, choose not to and, in
this case, the `gem5.runtime.get_runtime_isa` function is used.
The `gem5.runtime.get_runtime_isa` function is an intermediate step
which should be removed in future versions of gem5 (users should specify
precisely what ISA they want via configuration scripts). For this reason
it throws a warning when used and should not be heavily relied upon. It
is deprecated.

This resource has been deprecated in favor of 'x86-ubuntu-18.04-img'. In
practise, these are the same resource (i.e., the same disk image), but
we deprecate 'x86-ubuntu-img' as 'x86-ubuntu-18.04-img' is more explicit
on what the disk image contains. Going forward we may want different
disk image resources with different Ubuntu versions, and we want it to
be clear what the user is retrieving.

The SPEC2006 and SPEC2017 example configs require the passing of SPEC
disk image to function correctly. Prior to this commit a root partition
parameter was required. However, disk images don't necessarily have
partitions. In this case an empty string needed passed.
This patch makes the root partition parameter optional. If a disk image
does not have a root partition, it does not need specified.

It allows the user to specify the disk root partition parameter

This change removes the code base for SingleChannelMemory and
replaces it with MultiChannelMemory. muli_channel defines all
the classes that were defined by single_channel. Basically any
SingleChannelMemory could be thought of as a MultiChannelMemory
with 1 channel.

This enables an SE mode execution of binary if added a Board's
superclass.
This has been abstracted from the SimpleBoard.
The 'set_workload' function has been renamed 'set_se_binary_workload'.
This is clearer on its purpose and doesn't overlap with other
'set_workload' functions.

This patch moves 'connect_things' to the AbstractBoard constructor,
thereby meaning it does not need to be called directly in gem5
configuration scripts. This method has been changed to private as a
result.
As boards that inherit from AbstractBoard require certain things to be
setup prior to `connect_things` being called, a new abstract function,
`_setup_board` has been created. This is called in the AbstractBoard
constructor before `connect_things` and can be overridden by boards to
setup board properties as required.

The override parameter in the constructor has been renamed to to
'download_md5_mismatch'. This makes the purpose of this parameter
clearer.
The default value has been changed from False to True. We found in most
cases we want to re-download files if the md5 values have changes. Not
wanting to do so is the corner case. This allows us to remove a lot of
parameters from test and example scripts, included in this patch.

The purpose of this class is to:
* Create a standard way to set a typical kernel/disk image workload.
* Cleans up the manner in which readfile values/contents are set.
* Allows a user to specify their own kernel arguments, but still sets
sensible defaults.
As of this commit, this interface has been added to the X86Board and the
RISCVBoard.
