This makes what are configuration and what are internal SCons variables
explicit and separate, and makes it unnecessary to call out what
variables to export to C++.
These variables will also be plumbed into and out of kconfiglib in later
changes.

The BaseCPU type had been specializing itself based on the value of
TARGET_ISA, which is not compatible with building more than one ISA at a
time.
This change refactors the CPU models so that the BaseCPU is more
general, and the ISA specific components are added to the CPU when the
CPU types are fully specialized. For instance, The AtomicSimpleCPU has a
version called X86AtomicSimpleCPU which installs the X86 specific
aspects of the CPU.
This specialization is done in three ways.
1. The mmu parameter is assigned an instance of the architecture
specific MMU type. This provides a reasonable default, but also avoids
having having to use the ISA specific type when the parameter is
created.
2. The ISA specific types are made available as class attributes, and
the utility functions (including __init__!) in the BaseCPU class can
refer to them to get the types they need to set up the CPU at run time.
Because SimObjects have strange, unhelpful semantics as far as assigning
to their attributes, these types need to be set up in a non-SimObject
class, which is then brought in as a base of the actual SimObject type.
Because the metaclass of this other type is just "type", things work
like you would expect. The SimObject doesn't do any special processing
of base classes if they aren't also SimObjects, so these attributes
survive and are accessible using normal lookup in the BaseCPU class.
3. There are some methods like addCheckerCPU and properties like
needsTSO which have ISA specific values or behaviors. These are set in
the ISA specific subclass, where they are inherently specific to an ISA
and don't need to check TARGET_ISA.
Also, the DummyChecker which was set up for the BaseSimpleCPU which
doesn't actually do anything in either C++ or python was not carried
forward. The CPU type still exists, but it isn't installed in the
simple CPUs.
To provide backward compatibility, each ISA implements a .py file which
matches the original .py for a CPU, and the original is renamed with a
Base prefix. The ISA specific version creates an alias with the old CPU
name which maps to the ISA specific type. This way, old scripts which
refer to, for example, AtomicSimpleCPU, will get the X86AtomicSimpleCPU
if the x86 version was compiled in, the ArmAtomicSimpleCPU on arm, etc.
Unfortunately, because of how tags on PySource and by extension SimObjects
are implemented right now, if you set the tags on two SimObjects or
PySources which have the same module path, the later will overwrite the
former whether or not they both would be included. There are some
changes in review which would revamp this and make it work like you
would expect, without this central bookkeeping which has the conflict.
Since I can't use that here, I fell back to checking TARGET_ISA to
decide whether to tell SCons about those files at all.
In the long term, this mechanism should be revamped so that these
compatibility types are only available if there is exactly one ISA
compiled into gem5. After the configs have been updated and no longer
assume they can use AtomicSimpleCPU in all cases, then these types can
be deleted.
Also, because ISAs can now either provide subclasses for a CPU or not,
the CPU_MODELS variable has been removed, meaning the non-ISA
specialized versions of those CPU models will always be included in
gem5, except when building the NULL ISA.
In the future, a more granular config mechanism will hopefully be
implemented for *all* of gem5 and not just the CPUs, and these can be
conditional again in case you only need certain models, and want to
reduce build time or binary size by excluding the others.

Rather than make each ISA include boilerplate to ignore a
SyscallReturn's value when it's marked as suppressed or needing a retry,
put that code into the SyscallDesc::doSyscall method instead.
That has two benefits. First, it removes a decent amount of code
duplication which is nice from a maintenance perspective. Second, it
puts the SyscallDesc in charge of figuring out what to do once a system
call implementation finishes. That will let it schedule a retry of the
system call for instance, without worrying about what the ISA is doing
with the SyscallReturn behind its back.

now it can be retrieved with just an InstDecoder pointer without a

By using a PCStateBase pointer or reference, we can (mostly) avoid
having to know what the ISA specific PState class is, letting the ISA
specific instruction classes cast to the type they need internally.
There are a couple minor places where we need to do those casts outside
of ISA specific types, one in the generic NopStaticInstPtr class, and a
few in generic faults.
Right now, we'll just use the TheISA::PCState type in those isolated
spots (sometimes hidden by auto), and deal with it later, possibly
with a virtual "advance" method of some sort.

This method is the seed which creates a new PCState object of the
appropriate type. It can be used to initialize PCStateBase *s so that they
always point to something valid and can be manipulated without having to
first check if there's something there, as opposed to the alternative
where a pointer might be null until it's first pointed at something.

The workload would have a better idea of what it's endianness is than
the system object that holds it. This is the first step towards getting
rid of the getByteOrder method on the system object, which currently
checks TARGET_ISA to determine what the default endianness should be.
If it makes sense for a Workload, it could determine the endianness
dynamically by, for instance, reading it out of a binary image before
putting it into memory.
This does assume that the workload has a consistent endianness
throughout which may not be true, but this is not a new assumption.
Also, mark the SEWorkload SimObject class as "abstract", since it isn't
useful until they get subclassed by some arch specific version.

Turn the functions within it into virtual methods on the ISA classes.
Eliminate the implementation in MIPS, which was just copy pasted from
Alpha long ago. Fix some minor style issues in ARM. Remove templating.
Switch from using an "XC" type parameter to using the ThreadContext *
installed in all ISA classes.
The ARM version of these functions actually depend on the ExecContext
delaying writes to MiscRegs to work correctly. More insiduously than
that, they also depend on the conicidental ThreadContext like
availability of certain functions like contextId and getCpuPtr which
come from the class which happened to implement the type passed into XC.
To accomodate that, those functions need both a real ThreadContext, and
another object which is either an ExecContext or a ThreadContext
depending on how the method is called.

Apply the gem5 namespace to the codebase.
Some anonymous namespaces could theoretically be removed,
but since this change's main goal was to keep conflicts
at a minimum, it was decided not to modify much the
general shape of the files.
A few missing comments of the form "// namespace X" that
occurred before the newly added "} // namespace gem5"
have been added for consistency.
std out should not be included in the gem5 namespace, so
they weren't.
ProtoMessage has not been included in the gem5 namespace,
since I'm not familiar with how proto works.
Regarding the SystemC files, although they belong to gem5,
they actually perform integration between gem5 and SystemC;
therefore, it deserved its own separate namespace.
Files that are automatically generated have been included
in the gem5 namespace.
The .isa files currently are limited to a single namespace.
This limitation should be later removed to make it easier
to accomodate a better API.
Regarding the files in util, gem5:: was prepended where
suitable. Notice that this patch was tested as much as
possible given that most of these were already not
previously compiling.

These had been templated on a type, and then the width of that type was
considered the amount the PC should advance when executing straight line
code. That type was MachInst, which was loosely the size of an
instruction, but was practically whatever sized data type was fed into
the decoder at a time.
Instead of tying this to a type, this change moves it over to be a
simple number. This avoids a level of indirection, and also further
decouples the type the decoder might use as input from the instruction
size.
