Also remove it's Alpha centric implementation. All existing ISAs will
panic since they all define the guarding constant as false. Even if they
defined it as true, this function assumes that there is necessarily a misc
reg which can be read to find the current thread_info struct, and how
the contents of that register should be manipulated.
This code is already fairly fragile since it depends on things in the
Linux kernel having certain names and relationships with each other, but
that's a larger problem I don't want to fix right now.

Instead of calling into object files after the fact and asking them to
put symbols into a target symbol table, this change makes object files
fill in a symbol table themselves at construction. Then, that table can
be retrieved and used to fill in aggregate tables, masked, moved,
and/or filtered to have only one type of symbol binding.
This simplifies the symbol management API of the object file types
significantly, and makes it easier to deal with symbol tables alongside
binaries in the FS workload classes.

The SymbolTable class had been tracking symbols as two independent
pieces, a name and an address, and acted as a way to translate between
them. Symbols can be more complex than that, and so this change
encapsulates the information associated with a symbol in a new class.
As a step towards simplifying the API for reading symbols from a
binary, this change also adds a "binding" field to that class so that
global, local and weak symbols can all go in the same table and be
differentiated later as needed. That should unify the current API
which has a method for each symbol type.
While the innards of SymbolTable were being reworked, this change
also makes that class more STL like by adding iterators, and begin
and end methods. These iterate over a new vector which holds all the
symbols. The address and name keyed maps now hold indexes into that
vector instead of the other half of the symbol.

This generalized Workload SimObject is not geared towards FS or SE
simulations, although currently it's only used in FS. This gets rid
of the ARM specific highestELIs64 property (from the workload, not the
system) and replaces it with a generic getArch.
The old globally accessible kernel symtab has been replaced with a
symtab accessor which takes a ThreadContext *. The parameter isn't used
for anything for now, but in cases where there might be multiple
symbol tables to choose from (kernel vs. current user space?) the
method will now be able to distinguish which to use. This also makes
it possible for the workload to manage its symbol table with whatever
policy makes sense for it.
That method returns a const SymbolTable * since most of the time the
symbol table doesn't need to be modified. In the one case where an
external entity needs to modify the table, two pseudo instructions,
the table to modify isn't necessarily the one that's currently active.
For instance, the pseudo instruction will likely execute in user space,
but might be intended to add a symbol to the kernel in case something
like a module was loaded.
To support that usage, the workload has a generic "insertSymbol" method
which will insert the symbol in the table that "makes sense". There is
a lot of ambiguity what that means, but it's no less ambiguous than
today where we're only saved by the fact that there is generally only
one active symbol table to worry about.
This change also introduces a KernelWorkload SimObject class which
inherits from Workload and adds in kernel related members for cases
where the kernel is specified in the config and loaded by gem5 itself.
That's the common case, but the base Workload class would be used
directly when, for instance, doing a baremetal simulation or if the
kernel is loaded by software within the simulation as is the case for
SPARC FS.
Because a given architecture specific workload class needs to inherit
from either Workload or KernelWorkload, this change removes the
ability to boot ARM without a kernel. This ability should be restored
in the future.
To make having or not having a kernel more flexible, the kernel
specific members of the KernelWorkload should be factored out into
their own object which can then be attached to a workload through a
(potentially unused) property rather than inheritance.

Information about what kernel to load and how to load it was built
into the System object and its subclasses. That overloaded the System
object and made it responsible for too many things, and also was
somewhat awkward when working with SE mode which doesn't have a kernel.
This change extracts the kernel and information related to it from the
System object and puts into into a OsKernel or Workload object.
Currently the idea of a "Workload" to run and a kernel are a bit
muddled, an unfortunate carry-over from the original code. It's also an
implication of trying not to make too sweeping of a change, and to
minimize the number of times configs need to change, ie avoiding
creating a "kernel" parameter which would shortly thereafter be
renamed to "workload".
In future changes, the ideas of a kernel and a workload will be
disentangled, and workloads will be expanded to include emulated
operating systems which shephard and contain Process-es for syscall
emulation.
This change was originally split into pieces to make reviewing it
easier. Those reviews are here:

This expands those functions into code which extracts the virt proxy
and then uses the appropriate method on it. This has two benefits.
First, the Copy* functions where mostly redundant wrappers around the
methods the proxy port already had. Second, using them forced a
particular port which might not actually be what the user wanted.

32bit and 64bit Linux have different arguments passed to the
__switch_to() function that gem5 hooks into in order to collect context
switch statistics. 64bit Linux provides the task_struct pointer to the
next task that will be switched to, which means we don't have to look
up the task_struct from thread_info as we do in 32bit ARM Linux.
This patch adds a second set of accessors to ThreadInfo to extract
details such as the pid, tgid, task name, etc., directly from a
task_struct. The existing accessors maintain their existing behavior by
first looking up the task_struct and then calling these new accessors.
A 64-bit variant of the DumpStatsPCEvent class is added that uses these
new accessors to get the task details for the context switch dumps
directly from the task_struct passed to __switch_to().

This patch takes the Linux thread info support scattered across
different ISA implementations (currently in ARM, ALPHA, and MIPS), and
unifies them into a single file.
Adds a few more helper functions to read out TGID, mm, etc.
ISA-specific information (e.g., ALPHA PCBB register) is now moved to
the corresponding isa_traits.hh files.
