Giacomo Travaglini ca748be477 arch-arm: Fix ArmSystem::_resetAddr evalutation
With:

https://gem5-review.googlesource.com/c/public/gem5/+/26466

The ArmSystem reset address (_resetAddr) is always forced by the
workload:

 _resetAddr = workload->entry

So there is no possibility to manually specify a reset address.

This was not the case before:
The resetAddr was forced only if auto_reset_addr was true or if there
was an associated bootloader to the kernel image. In that case even if
auto_reset_addr was false, the reset address was determined by the
bootloader entry.
This was also not ideal (but it was working)

This patch is cleaning all of this:

If you want to have automatic detection (recommended), you would need to
set auto_reset_addr (now turned to true by default).  This will allow to
keep most fs script untouched.  If you don't want to use automatic
detection, set auto_reset_addr to False and provide your own reset
address.

This is the gem5 simulator.

The main website can be found at http://www.gem5.org

A good starting point is http://www.gem5.org/about, and for
more information about building the simulator and getting started
please see http://www.gem5.org/documentation and
http://www.gem5.org/documentation/learning_gem5/introduction.

To build gem5, you will need the following software: g++ or clang,
Python (gem5 links in the Python interpreter), SCons, SWIG, zlib, m4,
and lastly protobuf if you want trace capture and playback
support. Please see http://www.gem5.org/documentation/general_docs/building
for more details concerning the minimum versions of the aforementioned tools.

Once you have all dependencies resolved, type 'scons
build/<ARCH>/gem5.opt' where ARCH is one of ARM, NULL, MIPS, POWER, SPARC,
or X86. This will build an optimized version of the gem5 binary (gem5.opt)
for the the specified architecture. See
http://www.gem5.org/documentation/general_docs/building for more details and
options.

The basic source release includes these subdirectories:
   - configs: example simulation configuration scripts
   - ext: less-common external packages needed to build gem5
   - src: source code of the gem5 simulator
   - system: source for some optional system software for simulated systems
   - tests: regression tests
   - util: useful utility programs and files

To run full-system simulations, you will need compiled system firmware
(console and PALcode for Alpha), kernel binaries and one or more disk
images.

If you have questions, please send mail to gem5-users@gem5.org

Enjoy using gem5 and please share your modifications and extensions.
