With the introduction of multi-ISA gem5, we don't store the TARGET_ISA
anymore as a string in the root section of the checkpoint [1]. There is
therefore no way at the moment to asses the ISA of a CPU/ThreadContext.
This is a problem when it comes to checkpoint updates which are ISA
specific.
By explicitly serializing the ISA as a string under the cpu.isa section
we avoid this problem and we let cpt_upgraders be aware of the ISA in
use.
