Add support for KVM in the big.LITTLE(tm) example configuration. This
replaces the --atomic option with a --cpu-type option that can be used
to switch between atomic, kvm, and timing simulation.
When running in KVM mode, the simulation script automatically assigns
separate event queues (threads) to each of the simulated CPUs. All
simulated devices, including CPU child devices (e.g., interrupt
controllers and caches), are assigned to event queue 0.

The vanilla bL configuration file and the dist-gem5 configuration file
use slightly different code paths when restoring from
checkpoints. Unify this by passing the parsed options to the
instantiate() method and adding an optional checkpoint keyword
argument for checkpoint directories (only used by the dist-gem5
script).

This patch prepares future extensions and customisation of the example
big.LITTLE configuration script. It breaks out the major phases into
functions so they can be called from other python scripts.

This patch adds an IOCache to the example bigLITTLE
configuration. An IOCache is required for correct DMA
transfers when we have caches in the system.

Continue along the same line as the recent patch that made the
Ruby-related config scripts Python packages and make also the
configs/common directory a package.
All affected config scripts are updated (hopefully).
Note that this change makes it apparent that the current organisation
and naming of the config directory and its subdirectories is rather
chaotic. We mix scripts that are directly invoked with scripts that
merely contain convenience functions. While it is not addressed in
this patch we should follow up with a re-organisation of the
config structure, and renaming of some of the packages.

This patch refactors the configuration file to use a more
object-oriented design.

An ARM big.LITTLE system consists of two cpu clusters: the big
CPUs are typically complex out-of-order cores and the little
CPUs are simpler in-order ones. The fs_bigLITTLE.py script
can run a full system simulation with various number of big
and little cores and cache hierarchy. The commit also includes
two example device tree files for booting Linux on the
bigLITTLE system.
