/**
 * Abstract superclass for simulation objects.  Represents things that
 * correspond to physical components and can be specified via the
 * config file (CPUs, caches, etc.).
 *
 * SimObject initialization is controlled by the instantiate method in
 * src/python/m5/simulate.py. There are slightly different
 * initialization paths when starting the simulation afresh and when
 * loading from a checkpoint.  After instantiation and connecting
 * ports, simulate.py initializes the object using the following call
 * sequence:
 *
 * <ol>
 * <li>SimObject::init()
 * <li>SimObject::regStats()
 * <li><ul>
 *     <li>SimObject::initState() if starting afresh.
 *     <li>SimObject::loadState() if restoring from a checkpoint.
 *     </ul>
 * <li>SimObject::resetStats()
 * <li>SimObject::startup()
 * <li>SimObject::resume() if resuming from a checkpoint.
 * </ol>
 *
 * An object's internal state needs to be drained when creating a
 * checkpoint, switching between CPU models, or switching between
 * timing models. Once the internal state has been drained from
 * <i>all</i> objects in the system, the objects are serialized to
 * disc or the configuration change takes place. The process works as
 * follows (see simulate.py for details):
 *
 * <ol>
 * <li>An instance of a CountedDrainEvent is created to keep track of
 *     how many objects need to be drained. The object maintains an
 *     internal counter that is decreased every time its
 *     CountedDrainEvent::process() method is called. When the counter
 *     reaches zero, the simulation is stopped.
 *
 * <li>Call SimObject::drain() for every object in the
 *     system. Draining has completed if all of them return
 *     zero. Otherwise, the sum of the return values is loaded into
 *     the counter of the CountedDrainEvent. A pointer of the drain
 *     event is passed as an argument to the drain() method.
 *
 * <li>Continue simulation. When an object has finished draining its
 *     internal state, it calls CountedDrainEvent::process() on the
 *     CountedDrainEvent. When counter in the CountedDrainEvent reaches
 *     zero, the simulation stops.
 *
 * <li>Check if any object still needs draining, if so repeat the
 *     process above.
 *
 * <li>Serialize objects, switch CPU model, or change timing model.
 *
 * <li>Call SimObject::resume() and continue the simulation.
 * </ol>
 *
 * @note Whenever a method is called on all objects in the simulator's
 * object tree (e.g., init(), startup(), or loadState()), a pre-order
 * depth-first traversal is performed (see descendants() in
 * SimObject.py). This has the effect of calling the method on the
 * parent node <i>before</i> its children.
