The ISA parser used to generate different copies of exec functions
for each exec context class a particular CPU wanted to use. That's
since been changed so that those functions take a pointer to the base
ExecContext, so the code which would generate those extra functions
can be removed, and some functions which used to be templated on an
ExecContext subclass can be untemplated, or minimally less templated.
Now that some functions aren't going to be instantiated multiple times
with different signatures, there are also opportunities to collapse
templates and make many instruction definitions simpler within the
parser. Since those changes will be less mechanical, they're left for
later changes and will probably be done in smaller increments.

Fourth of five patches adding RISC-V to GEM5. This patch adds the RV64A
extension, which includes atomic memory instructions. These instructions
atomically read a value from memory, modify it with a value contained in a
source register, and store the original memory value in the destination
register and modified value back into memory. Because this requires two
memory accesses and GEM5 does not support two timing memory accesses in
a single instruction, each of these instructions is split into two micro-
ops: A "load" micro-op, which reads the memory, and a "store" micro-op,
which modifies and writes it back. Each atomic memory instruction also has
two bits that acquire and release a lock on its memory location.
Additionally, there are atomic load and store instructions that only either
load or store, but not both, and can acquire or release memory locks.
Note that because the current implementation of RISC-V only supports one
core and one thread, it doesn't make sense to make use of AMO instructions.
However, they do form a standard extension of the RISC-V ISA, so they are
included mostly as a placeholder for when multithreaded execution is
implemented. As a result, any tests for their correctness in a future
patch may be abbreviated.
Patch 1 introduced RISC-V and implemented the base instruction set, RV64I;
patch 2 implemented the integer multiply extension, RV64M; and patch 3
implemented the single- and double-precision floating point extensions,
RV64FD.
Patch 5 will add support for timing, minor, and detailed CPU models that
isn't present in patches 1-4.
[Added missing file amo.isa]
[Replaced information removed from initial patch that was missed during
division into multiple patches.]
[Fixed some minor formatting issues.]
[Fixed oversight where LR and SC didn't have both AQ and RL flags.]
