It is possible that the board has more than just a "main" memory. For
instance, the ArmBoard has a boot memory which is separate from the
`get_memory` function.
This moves the `get_mem_ports` function to the board so that the board
can optionally override it.

It never made much sense to set checkpoint via the Simulator module as
Checkpoints are very tightly coupled with the Workload being run. This
change therefore moves the checkpoint to the set_workload functions.
Setting checkpoints via the Simulator is deprecated and will be removed
in a future release.

The previous SimPoint warmup length was limited by the gaps between
the starting instruction of one SimPoint and the ending instruction of
the SimPoint before it. This was to prevent duplicate SimPoints, but it
can significantly limit the warmup length.
In this commit, the warmup length limitation will be extended to the
starting instruction of one SimPoint regardless of the gap between
SimPoints.
A SimPoint checkpoint generator is created to help taking checkpoints
for SimPoints and make sure multiple SimPoint checkpoints are taken
when there are multiple SimPoints sharing the same starting instruction

This change updates the default actions taken when the user doesn't

This change then updates the default generators in the simulator and

Modeled after the HiFive Unmatched.
For the cache, we inherited from AbstractClassicCacheHierarchy and
AbstractTwoLevelCacheHierarchy to make a PrivateL1PrivateL2 hierarchy
with the same associativity and sizes as the board. However, the L2
Size is kept as a parameter that can be set by the user.
The core is in-order, therefore we inherited from RISC-V MinorCPU and
used the same pipeline parameters as the ARM HPI CPU, except the
decodeToExecuteForwardDelay, which was increased to 2 to avoid a
PMC access fault.
For the processor, we initialized the core with an ID so that we can
return 4 cores in FS mode, which is the same as the real system,
and 1 in SE mode.
For the memory, we just have a single channel DDR4_2400 with a size of
16 GB and starting at 0x80000000.
For the board, we declared a Boolean variable as a parameter to assign
whether it is in FS mode or not. We inherited from KernelDiskWorkload
and SEBinaryWorkload and initialized the components of the board
according to the Boolean. The other parameters are the clock frequency
and the L2 cache size.

This commit:
https://gem5-review.googlesource.com/c/public/gem5/+/62471
set `sim_quantum` for any simulation done via the Simulator module.
However, this causes issues when setting exit events at a particular
tick. It resulted in the exit being off by the `sim_quantum` value. This
is required for KVM setups but is undesirable for non-KVM setups. Ergo,
this commit ensures the `sim_quantum` is only set in cases where KVM
cores are included in a simulation.
There are two items of note here:
1. When using the SwitchableProcessor the KVM cores may be switched out
and therefore not accessable via the `get_cores` method. To get round
this we check if the processor is a SwitchableProcessor and run an
additionial check that _any_ of the cores in the SwitchableProcessor
are KVM. This is a big hacky; the Processor API should be changed to
make this easier.
2. This only partially fixes the problem of exit events being off given
a specified tick. This will still occur in the case a
SwitchableProcessor is used containing KVM cores. E.g., non-KVM cores
will still be "off" when KVM cores are switched out. This issue will
be addressed in a later commit.

An exception was raised if the SwitchableProcessor was setup to
switch to a KVM core from a non-KVM core (i.e., if KVM cores were
present they needed to be the starting core). This was due to a bug in
the Simulator module where the `root.sim_quantum` as not setup for cases
where the SwitchableProcessor was not starting with a KVM core, thus
causing an error when switched to KVM cores.
This has been fixed by modifying the Simulator module to always set
root.sim_quantum. This is acceptable as this is only used in KVM setups.

Currently, when using the switchable processor the first N cores are the
starting cores and the next N cores (e.g., board.processor.core<N+1>)
are the switched in cores. This is confusing when looking at the stats.
This change makes it so that the names of the different processor lists
used in the dictionary when constructing the switchable processor are
used in for the member names as well. This will allow users to have
names like board.processor.ff_cores and board.processor.detailed_cores.
A bit of refactoring of the base processor was required for this.

The BaseCPUProcessor is processor containing BaseCPUCores. This gives
gem5 stdlib users a way to create processors containing BaseCPU
SimObjects. While SimpleProcessor does this by-proxy (the user simply
specifies the desires CPUType and ISA and the correct BaseCPU
instantiation is chosen), this new Processor allows a more raw passing
of BaseCPU objects.
The SimpleProcessor now inherrits from this BaseCPUProcessor to avoid
duplcation of functionality. A refactor to achieve this was moving the
setting of the board's memory mode from the SimpleProcessor's
"incorporate_processor" function to the BaseCPUProcessor's then altering
it to determine MemMode based on BaseCPU subclass rather than the
CPUType.
The tests/gem5/configs/simple_binary_run.py test script has been
extended to create an stdlib run with a BaseCPUProcessor instead of the
SimpleProcessor and tests have been included to ensure the
BaseCPUProcessor functions as intended.
Multiple cores comprising of different BaseCPU types has not been tested
and is not officially supported as of this commit.
