This brings M5 closer to modernity - the kernel being advertised is newer so it won't die on binaries compiled with newer glibc's, and enables use of TLS-toolchain built binaries for ALPHA_SE by putting auxiliary vectors on the stack. There are some comments in the code to help. Finally, stats changes for ALPHA are from slight perturbations to the initial stack frame, all minimal diffs.
