The event in KVM x86 SE mode plays double duty, triggering a system call
or a page fault depending on where it's called from (the system call
handler vs page fault handler).
This means we can eliminate the page fault gem5 op and the
pseudo_inst.hh switching header file.
This change touches a lot of things, but there wasn't really a good
place to split it up which still made sense and was consistent and
functional.

The *vast* majority of SimObjects use the standard boilerplate version
of their Params::create() method which just returns new
ClassName(*this); Rather than force every class to define this method,
or annoy and frustrate users who forget and then get linker errors, this
change automates the default while leaving the possibility of defining a
custom create() method for non-default cases.
The situations this mechanism handles can be first broken down by
whether the SimObject class has a constructor of the normal form, ie one
that takes a const Params reference as its only parameter.
If no, then no default create() implementation is defined, and one
*must* be defined by the user.
If yes, then a default create() implementation is defined as a weak
symbol. If the user still wants to define their own create method for
some reason, perhaps to add debugging info, to keep track of instances
in c++, etc., then they can and it will override the weak symbol and
take precedence.
The way this is implemented is not straightforward. A set of classes are
defined which use SFINAE which either map in the real Params type or a
dummy based on whether the normal constructor exists in the SimObject
class. Then those classes are used to define *a* create method.
Depending on how the SFINAE works out, that will either be *the* create
method on the real Params struct, or a create method on a dummy class
set up to just absorb the definition and then go away. In either case the
create() method is a weak symbol, but in the dummy case it
doesn't/shouldn't matter.
Annoyingly the compiler insists that the weak symbol be visible. While
that makes total sense normally, we don't actually care what happens to
the weak symbol if it's attached to the dummy class. Unfortunately that
means we need to make the dummy class globally visible, although we put
it in a namespace to keep it from colliding with anything useful.

This is a way to send a very generic poke to the workload so it can do
something. It's up to the workload to know what information to look for
to interpret an event, such as what PC it came from, what register
values are, or the context of the workload itself (is this SE mode? which
OS is running?).

These tables take up a lot of space and obscure what's going on in the
file around them. This change moves them into their own files (one for
32 bit and one for 64 bit). It also moves the x86 local definitions of
some system calls into their own file, and creates a SConscript file for
the linux subdirectory.

In SPARC and SE mode, system calls are triggered by a trap exception
with the appropriate trap number, and then a handler within the Workload
(formerly the Process) object recognizes the trap number and triggers
the system call.
For Linux, this special handling happens in the Linux specific Workload,
and other types of traps are passed through to the base SPARC SE
Workload class. For Solaris however, no special handling is implemented.
That means that it's actually impossible for a Solaris SE mode program
to actually trigger a system call, and so while there is some code
written for Solaris SE mode, this feature does not actually work at all.
Also, while it's relatively easy to build binaries for Linux on various
architectures using, for instance, the crosstool-ng configs in util/,
there is no ready made option that I could find for building a SPARC
Solaris cross compiler which would run on x86 linux.
Given that the support that exists isn't actually hooked up properly,
SPARC is not one of the most popular ISAs within gem5, Solaris is not a
widely used operating system, we have (to my knowledge) no test binary
to run, and setting up a cross compiler would be non-trivial, it makes
the most sense to me to remove this support.

These files are nominally not tied to the X86ISA, but in reality they
are because they reach into the GPU TLB, which is defined unchangeably in
the X86ISA namespaces, and uses data structures within it. Rather than try
to pretend that these structures are generic, we'll instead just use X86ISA
instead of TheISA. If this really does become generic in the future, a
base class with the ISA agnostic essentials defined in it can be used
instead, and the ISA specific TLBs can defined their own derived class
which has whatever else they need. Really the compute unit shouldn't be
communicating with the TLB using sender state since those are supposed
to be little notes for the sender to keep with a transaction, not for
communicating between entities across a port.

This is still triggered by the generic mechanism that tries out all
paths to go from an object file to a process. That's not entirely
necessary since the only loader that should be used when using the
X86ISA::EmuLinux workload is the one it provides, but the rest of gem5
isn't ready for that change yet.
This removes the last lingering reason to keep around the
arch/x86/linux/process.(hh|cc) files, so they have been deleted.

The TLBIALL op in gem5 was designed after the AArch32 TLBIALL instruction.
and was reused by the TLBI ALLEL1, ALLE2, ALLE3 logic.
This is not correct for the following reasons:
- TLBI ALLEx invalidates regardless of the VMID
- TLBI ALLEx (AArch64) is "target regime" oriented, whereas TLBIALL
(AArch32) is "current regime" oriented
TLBIALL has a different behaviour depending on the current exception
level: if issued at EL1 it will invalidate stage1 translations only; if
at EL2, it will invalidate stage2 translations as well.
TLBI ALLEx is more standard; every TLBI ALLE1 will invalidate stage1 and
stage2 translations. This is because the instruction is not executable
from the guest (EL1)
So for TLBIALL the condition for stage2 forwarding will be:
if (!isStage2 && isHyp) {
Whereas for TLBI ALLEx will be:
if (!isStage2 && target_el == EL1) {

Add some more stringent Python tests that ensure that we can link with
and run applications that embed Python. This is implemented by running
building a small c++ program that embeds Python using PyBind11. The
program is run by the build system and prints the version of the
Python interpreter. The version information is then used by the build
system to ensure that the installed version is supported.

The parseParam and showParam functions partially worked using template
specialization, and partially worked using function overloading. The
template specialization could be resolved later once other functions
were added, but the regular function overloads could not. That meant
that it was practically impossible to add new definitions of those two
functions local to the types they worked with.
Also, because C++ does not allow partial specialization of template
functions, it would not be possible to truly use specialization to wire
in BitUnion types.
To fix these problems, these functions have been turned into structs
which wrap static functions. These can be partially specialized as
desired, making them compatible with BitUnions. Also, it's not possible
to overload structures like it is with functions, so only specialization
is considered, not overloading.
While making these changes, these functions (now structs) were also
reworked so that they share implementation more, and are generally
more streamlined.
Given the fact that the previous parseParam and showParam functions
could not actually be expanded beyond serialize.hh, and were not
actually called directly by any code outside of that file, they should
have never been considered part of the API.
Now that these structs actually *can* be specialized outside of this
file, they should be considered part of the interface.

These had been written specifically for the vector, list, set, and C
style array types. This change reworks them to share an implementation,
and to work with more general types. The arrayParamOut method requires
std::begin() and std::end() to accept that type, and the arrayParamIn
method requires either insert or push_back, or the type to be an array.
Also fix up a couple of files which accidentally depended on includes in
the serialize headers which are no longer necessary.
