The change "config: Change mem_range attribute naming in ARM
SimpleSystem" modified the SimpleSystem class to be compatible with
the MemConfig utility script. While doing so, the way we report the
memory ranges supported by the system changed, which broke the bL
example configration. This changeset introduces the necessary changes
to make the script work again.

The ARM example configs used to rely on CPU aliases for the
AtomicSimpleCPU and KVM when configuring clusters. This broken when
support for CPU aliases was removed ('config: Remove support for CPU
aliases.'). This change updates the config scripts to use the full
class names instead.

Old ARM systems used to pass the machine type in the ATAGS list passed
to the kernel. This has been largely deprecated by the introduction of
device trees. Switch to the DTOnly machine type by default in gem5
since all new platforms and kernel will require this behavior.

MemConfig.config() expects memory ranges to be defined in a particular

SympleSystem to enable use of MemConfig for configuring the memory.

This patch enables using calibrated big and LITTLE cores, ex5_big and
ex5_LITTLE instead of the default 'arm_detailed' and 'minor' cpus. The ex5
model is based on the Samsung Exynos 5 Octa (5422) SoC. Operation and memory
hierarchy latencies have been calibrated using the lmbench micro-benchmark
suite. The preliminary validation results have been published as: 'Full-System
Simulation of big.LITTLE Multicore Architecture for Performance and Energy
Exploration', in International Symposium on Embedded Multicore/Many-core
Systems-on-Chip (MCSoC'16), Lyon, France (Sep, 2016).

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).

If the cache access mode is parallel, i.e. "sequential_access" parameter
is set to "False", tags and data are accessed in parallel. Therefore,
the hit_latency is the maximum latency between tag_latency and
data_latency. On the other hand, if the cache access mode is
sequential, i.e. "sequential_access" parameter is set to "True",
tags and data are accessed sequentially. Therefore, the hit_latency
is the sum of tag_latency plus data_latency.

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.
