974a47dfb9 misc: Adopt the gem5 namespace
Apply the gem5 namespace to the codebase.

Some anonymous namespaces could theoretically be removed,
but since this change's main goal was to keep conflicts
at a minimum, it was decided not to modify much the
general shape of the files.

A few missing comments of the form "// namespace X" that
occurred before the newly added "} // namespace gem5"
have been added for consistency.

std out should not be included in the gem5 namespace, so
they weren't.

ProtoMessage has not been included in the gem5 namespace,
since I'm not familiar with how proto works.

Regarding the SystemC files, although they belong to gem5,
they actually perform integration between gem5 and SystemC;
therefore, it deserved its own separate namespace.

Files that are automatically generated have been included
in the gem5 namespace.

The .isa files currently are limited to a single namespace.
This limitation should be later removed to make it easier
to accomodate a better API.

Regarding the files in util, gem5:: was prepended where
suitable. Notice that this patch was tested as much as
possible given that most of these were already not
previously compiling.

2c75e58cac sim,cpu: Move the remote GDB stub into the workload.
There are two user visible effects of this change. First, all of the
threads for a particular workload are moved under a single GDB instance.
The GDB session can see all the threads at once, and can let you move
between them as you want.

Second, since there is a GDB instance per workload and not per CPU, the
wait_for_gdb parameter was moved to the workload.

8041ab0ad7 sim: Add a mechanism for finding an compatible SE workload.
This makes it possible to pick an SEWorkload generically at the config
level and not in C++ after the structure of the simulation has already
been set.

3293926413 sim: Create a Workload object for SE mode.
The workload object is still optional for the sake of compatibility,
even though it probably shouldn't be in the long term. If a simulation
is just a collection of components with nothing in particular running on
it, for instance driven by a traffic generator, should it even have a
System object in the first place?

da4f5726be arch,sim,kern,dev,cpu: Create a Workload SimObject.
This generalized Workload SimObject is not geared towards FS or SE
simulations, although currently it's only used in FS. This gets rid
of the ARM specific highestELIs64 property (from the workload, not the
system) and replaces it with a generic getArch.

The old globally accessible kernel symtab has been replaced with a
symtab accessor which takes a ThreadContext *. The parameter isn't used
for anything for now, but in cases where there might be multiple
symbol tables to choose from (kernel vs. current user space?) the
method will now be able to distinguish which to use. This also makes
it possible for the workload to manage its symbol table with whatever
policy makes sense for it.

That method returns a const SymbolTable * since most of the time the
symbol table doesn't need to be modified. In the one case where an
external entity needs to modify the table, two pseudo instructions,
the table to modify isn't necessarily the one that's currently active.
For instance, the pseudo instruction will likely execute in user space,
but might be intended to add a symbol to the kernel in case something
like a module was loaded.

To support that usage, the workload has a generic "insertSymbol" method
which will insert the symbol in the table that "makes sense". There is
a lot of ambiguity what that means, but it's no less ambiguous than
today where we're only saved by the fact that there is generally only
one active symbol table to worry about.

This change also introduces a KernelWorkload SimObject class which
inherits from Workload and adds in kernel related members for cases
where the kernel is specified in the config and loaded by gem5 itself.
That's the common case, but the base Workload class would be used
directly when, for instance, doing a baremetal simulation or if the
kernel is loaded by software within the simulation as is the case for
SPARC FS.

Because a given architecture specific workload class needs to inherit
from either Workload or KernelWorkload, this change removes the
ability to boot ARM without a kernel. This ability should be restored
in the future.

To make having or not having a kernel more flexible, the kernel
specific members of the KernelWorkload should be factored out into
their own object which can then be attached to a workload through a
(potentially unused) property rather than inheritance.
