Sometimes when using the GuestABI mechanism, gem5 wants to know that a
function was called and with what arguments to do its own processing,
but doesn't want to return its own value since it will still let the
simulated system execute its own function. There are also situations
where gem5 wants to return a value, but not through the normal
mechanism. That happens when, for instance, a gem5 op is triggered by a
memory access, and that access is what should return the value, not a
particular fixed register.
This option is a template parameter rather than a function argument so
that if it's not going to be used, no "Return" type needs to be defined
since it's not present at all in the chain of functions invokeSimcall
expands to.
This will also make it easier to reuse generic ABIs in those situations
without having to make custom wrappers.

PowerDomains group multiple objects together to regulate their power
state. There are 2 types of objects in a PowerDomain: leaders and
followers. The power state of a PowerDomain is the most performant
power state of any of the leaders. The power state of the followers is
determined by the power state of the PowerDomain they belong to: they
need to be in a power state which is more or equally performant to the
power state of the PowerDomain.
Leaders can be ClockedObjects or other PowerDomains. Followers can
only be ClockedObjects. PowerDomains can be be nested but a
PowerDomain can only be a leader of another PowerDomain, NOT a
follower. PowerDomains are not present in the hierarchy by default,
the user needs to create and configure them in the configuration file.
The user can add an hierachy by setting the led_by parameter. gem5
will then create leaders and followers for each domain and calculate
the allowed power states for the domain.
Objects in a PowerDomain need to have at least the ON state in the
possible_states.
An example of a powerDomain config is:
pd = PowerDomain()
cpu0 = BaseCPU()
cpu1 = BaseCPU()
shared_cache = BaseCache()
cache.power_state.led_by = pd
pd.led_by = [cpu0, cpu1]
This will create a PowerDomain, where the CPUs determine their own
power states and the shared cache (via the PowerDomain) follows those
power states (when possible).

This commit adds the concept of possible power states to the
PowerState SimObject. This is a list of the power states a specific
object can be in. Before transitioning to a power state, a PowerState
object will first check if the requested power states is actually an
allowed state. The user can restricted the power states a
ClockedObject can go to during configuration. In addition, this change

This commit does not make any functional changes but just rearranges
the existing code with regard to the power states. Previously, all
code regarding power states was in the ClockedObjects. However, it
seems more logical and cleaner to move this code into a separate
class, called PowerState. The PowerState is a now SimObject. Every
ClockedObject has a PowerState but this patch also allows for objects
with PowerState which are not ClockedObjects.

fs_power.py is an example script that demonstrates how power models
can be used with gem5. Previously, the formulas used to calculate the
dynamic and static power of the cores and the L2 cache were using
stats in equations as determined by their path relative to the
SimObject where the power model is attached to or full paths. This CL
changes these formulas to refer to the stats only by their full paths.

The file was raising due to the undefined constant `verifiers`, leading
the test to be ignored.
./main.py list -v
would show this as:
```
Traceback (most recent call last):

NameError: name 'verifiers' is not defined

```
The test has been modified to have an empty verifiers list, which should
still catch bugs since src/mem/mem_checker.cc has several asserts already
which would be caught by the test system due to the exit status.
Also make the following changes to the test:
- move it to tests/gem5/memory/test.py with other memory tests.
This makes it easier to see all the tests in the source in one go, and
might make it easier to factor certain memory things out later on.
- reduce --maxtick to a value that finishes in 7 seconds on a Lenovo
ThinkPad P51.
The previous value would take 50x longer, which feels too long for a
single test.
- enable --prefetchers to also stress a prefetcher in the test

execution behavior is affected by the state of the accessed CSR".
Thus, we need to make them SerializeAfter to ensure that the following

theory, we could be smarter here by only considering write accesses to
CSRs and considering the following instructions, but for now we simply
serialize for every CSR access.

This test covers the templates which attempt to classify types, but not the
actual gathering of arguments of distribution of return values. As before, we
can't really use standard C++ to accurately test for HFAs and HVAs, so we stick
with approximating them by detecting arrays of the right types.
For example, I think technically we should also accept a struct with only 4
float members, but c++ templates aren't able to match against types in that way
as far as I know.

The templates which checked for short vectors, and our approximation of
HFA, HVA and HXA types were not correct. This change actually simplifies
them along with getting them to produce correct results. In the case of
HXA, there was a logic bug where an && was used where an || was
intended.
There may still be bugs in the actual collection of arguments and
setting of return values since those aspects are harder to test.

These make the calling code in m5.c a little bit more generic. Each call
type will have a function to check the arguments and see if that type is
being requested and/or has any additional options set in the arguments.
If so, those are processed, and argc and argv are adjusted.
Then another function returns the appropriate dispatch table to use for
that invocation scheme. This is behind a function instead of, for
instance, a global variable because it gives the call type a little bit
more control over what's happening, for instance if it would use
different implementations in slightly different circumstances.
