(1) Two new options are added to fs_bigLITTLE.py:
- "root": disk/partition containing the rootfs (def. "/dev/vda1")
- "machine-type": hardware platform class (def. "VExpress_GEM5_V1")
+ Accepts platform classes from PlatformConfig
(2) Default kernel is not available in public uploads, force the user

Adding an option to enable DRAM low-power states. The low power
states can have a significant impact on application performance
(sim_ticks) on the order of 2-3x, especially for compute-gpu apps.
The options allows for it to easily be enabled/disabled to compare
performance numbers. The option is disabled by default.

This patch updates the FileSystemConfig so it works with more kinds of
config scripts (e.g., the Learning gem5 scripts).
There are 4 main changes:
- Added system as a parameter to the config_filesystem function so the
function can search the system for the number of CPUs instead of relying
on options from Options.py
- Instead of calling redirect_paths everywhere config_filesystem is
used, now it is implicitly called.
- Cleaned up the Ruby scripts a bit to remove redundant calls to
config_filesystem
- Added a config_filesystem call to the Ruby Learning gem5 script
(currently the only Learning gem5 script that requires it).
In the future, I think it would be better to move the config_filesystem
call into simulate.py, probably into the instantiate function. I tried to
use the per-CPU configuration parameters instead of options from
Options.py, but that's not possible until after the SimObject params
have been finalized in instantiate.

Removed the icache/dcache hit latency parameters from the Sequencer.
They were replaced by the mandatory queue enqueue latency that is now
defined by the top-level cache controller. By default, the latency is
defined by the mandatory_queue_latency parameter. When the latency
depends on specific protocol states or on the request type, the protocol
may override the mandatoryQueueLatency function.

This change introduces the concept of a faux-filesystem.
The faux-filesystem creates a directory structure in m5out
(or whatever output dir the user specifies) where system calls
may be redirected.
This is useful to avoid non-determinism when reading files
with varying path names (e.g., variations from run-to-run if
the simulation is scheduled on a cluster where paths may change).
Also, this changeset allows circumventing host pseudofiles which
have information specific to the host processor (such as cache
hierarchy or processor information). Bypassing host pseudofiles
can be useful when executing runtimes in the absence of an
operating system kernel since runtimes may try to query standard
files (i.e. /proc or /sys) which are not relevant to an
application executing in syscall emulation mode.

Use SimpleMemory instead of DDR3 so we can use the timing results in

of this test won't change. I expect the timing of SimpleMemory to never

Kernel was being set using a placeholder and then assigned the

placeholder file did not exist:
'IOError: Can't find file <placeholder> on path'
This patch follows the same directions of commit
12eca7ac04 and removes the default
values, forcing the user to properly configure the kernel.

Python 2.7 used to return lists for operations such as map and range,
this has changed in Python 3. To make the configs Python 3 compliant,
add explicit conversions from iterators to lists where needed, replace
xrange with range, and fix changes to exec syntax.
This change doesn't fix import paths since that might require us to
restructure the configs slightly.

argv[0] is already part of sys.argv, so we don't need to add an
additional argument in front of sys.argv.
The argv[0] which is used in gem5 config scripts is the name of the
config script itself. While it might seem a little odd for the name of
a systemc program to end in .py, it's as arbitrary as any other name,
and generally shouldn't cause a problem. If some other more
sophisticated mechanism for setting argv[0] is necessary, then the user
can write a very slightly more complicated version of this script with
additional logic.

Before this commit, there were default magic DTB and kernel filenames
for some platforms.
This was inelegant and error prone, as it refered to out-of-tree files,
and set defaults which users almost always want to customize with
explicit command line options.
One result of this is that a wrong exception could be thrown if --kernel
was given but not --machine-type, since the default machine type
VExpress_EMM had a default kernel, and the code would always search for
the default filename even though --kernel was given:
IOError: Can't find file 'vmlinux.aarch32.ll_20131205.0-gem5' on path.
The defaults existed only for older machine types, and not for the
usually recommended VExpress_GEM5_V1, which suggests that this
deprecation should not affect many users.
