The SIMPOINT_BEGIN should do nothing by default since it might be used
in various cases.
In
[https://www.mail-archive.com/gem5-users@gem5.org/msg22383.html](mailing
list), a user discovered a bug with the current
`simpoints-se-restore.py` example.
The bug is caused by the default behavior of the SIMPOINT_BEGIN exit
event.
When taking a checkpoint with `simpoints-se-checkpoint.py`, it stores
the future exit event scheduled at the beginning of the simulation. I
did not notice this when I wrote and tested the example script due to
the long print out log and my custom handler of the SIMPOINT_BEGIN exit
event.
In the restoring, the SIMPOINT_BEGIN exit event was triggered right
before the region end, so it resets the stats before the final stats
dump. Therefore, the simulation time is 0 as the user discovered.
This patch should fix this bug.
