We have seen cases where the primary CPU was not able to bootstrap the
secondary CPUs in multicore tests (dual). The Linux booting process
"quietly" gives up (no panic) and it completes the booting without
bringing up the seondary CPU(s). This makes the dual test useless as it
is supposed to test SMP setups.
By adding a MatchFileRegex verifier, we make sure we are able to catch
these cases, correctly raising an error if not all CPUs are available.
We do this by inspecting the kernel log for the following print:
"CPU1: Booted secondary processor"
There are probably more resilient alternatives to a regex based check,
but those require a less minimal rootfs (the current
m5_exit.squashfs.arm64 FS has a single /sbin/init binary executing a
simple m5 exit operation)

Previously `tests/gem5/fs/linux/arm/run.py` contained an ugly,
hard-coded `gem5_root` variable. In this commit we pass `gem5_root`
as an argument from `tests/gem5/fs/linux/arm/test.py`, utilizing
`config.base_dir`.

We were downloading resources to various different locations, for no
real reason. This standardizes the process. From this commit onwards,
all testing resources are downloaded to `tests/gem5/resources` by
default. This may be overriden via the `--bin-path` TestLib argument.
Note: In order to do this I have changed the meaning of the `bin-path`
TestLib argument slightly. Previously the `bin-path` assumed a flat
(non-existant) hierarchy. A simple directory of local resources. This
new bin-path functionality maintains logical sub-directories. This is
technically an API change and will be noted in the release notes.

This is part of a process of getting rid of the `tests/config`
directory, and placing these configs either where they are used,
removing them if unneeded, or moving them to `configs/example`.
These config files, in this patchset, are part of the realview tests
found in `tests/gem5/fs/linux/arm/`. They have been moved to
`tests/gem5/configs`.

As mentioned on the JIRA issue, uncacheable requests done after
cacheable requests had been done to the address make the cache writeback
and write trash data to memory.
We believe that the kernel must be doing earlier invalidation by set and
way earlier on to prevent this, but that is not implemented in gem5 yet.
The problem can be worked around by booting in atomic without caches and
checkpointing after init, because uncacheable accesses are only done on
early stages of CPU bringup, which is the more common use case anyways.
The aarch64 Linux kernel developers have stated that set and way
invalidates are not going to be used in aarch64, which further reduces the
importance of implementing this immediatly

As we are now going to maintain different bundles of resources for each
gem5 release, the resources have been archived to
http://dist.gem5.org/dist/current for gem5 19. The development branch
will use http://dist.gem5.org/dist/develop going forward. New releases
will follow the format http://dist.gem5.org/dist/{VERSION}.
This patch makes the resources url a command-line parameter, set to the
"correct" url by default. This will be updated to the correct, archived,
version subdirectory upon release of a new gem5 version. E.g.:
http://dist.gem5.org/dist/v20 for the gem5 20 release.
Some Make files have been cleaned up to no longer fetch and push to
remote locations. As gem5-resources is implemented, sources will be
moved to the gem5-resources resository and compiled binaries, etc.
pulled from our Google Cloud bucket from the tests themselves.

So far lots of tests will download binaries inside the gem5 directory.
The path is also specific to the test being run.
This doesn't play well with an environment where gem5 is cloned from
scratch for every build, or if several gem5 are cloned in a single
machine.
Binaries will be automatically downloaded every time this happens.
This patch is adding a --bin-path option, so that it's possible to
setup a fixed directory with all pre-downloaded binaries.
By default it is set to None to preserve original behaviour.

This patch is updating the arm regression configs so that the newer
VExpress_GEM_V1 platform is used instead of the older VExpress_EMM and
VExpress_EMM64.
A new optional kernel_mode argument has been added in order to
distinguish between realview and realview64 platforms. If not provided
the config will assume the machine is running a AArch64 kernel.
Other notable additions:
- DTB autogeneration in regressions
- Using minimal m5exit.squashfs disk image

NOTE: Following the discussion on the current patch review, some
regressions have been moved to the long list (realview64-simple-atomic
and realview64-simple-timing) in order to reduce computation time. These
should be moved back to the quick list as soon as we get more computing
power.
