This patch enables the use of page tables that are stored in system memory
and respect x86 specification, in SE mode. It defines an architectural
page table for x86 as a MultiLevelPageTable class and puts a placeholder
class for other ISAs page tables, giving the possibility for future
implementation.

This patch changes how the serialization of the system works. The base
class had a non-virtual serialize and unserialize, that was hidden by
a function with the same name for a number of subclasses (most likely
not intentional as the base class should have been virtual). A few of
the derived systems had no specialization at all (e.g. Power and x86
that simply called the System::serialize), but MIPS and Alpha adds
additional symbol table entries to the checkpoint.
Instead of overriding the virtual function, the additional entries are
now printed through a virtual function (un)serializeSymtab. The reason
for not calling System::serialize from the two related systems is that
a follow up patch will require the system to also serialize the
PhysicalMemory, and if this is done in the base class if ends up being
between the general parts and the specialized symbol table.
With this patch, the checkpoint is not modified, as the order of the
segments is unchanged.

Replace direct call to unserialize() on each SimObject with a pair of
calls for better control over initialization in both ckpt and non-ckpt
cases.
If restoring from a checkpoint, loadState(ckpt) is called on each
SimObject. The default implementation simply calls unserialize() if
there is a corresponding checkpoint section, so we get backward
compatibility for existing objects. However, objects can override
loadState() to get other behaviors, e.g., doing other programmed
initializations after unserialize(), or complaining if no checkpoint
section is found. (Note that the default warning for a missing
checkpoint section is now gone.)
If not restoring from a checkpoint, we call the new initState() method
on each SimObject instead. This provides a hook for state
initializations that are only required when *not* restoring from a
checkpoint.
Given this new framework, do some cleanup of LiveProcess subclasses
and X86System, which were (in some cases) emulating initState()
behavior in startup via a local flag or (in other cases) erroneously
doing initializations in startup() that clobbered state loaded earlier
by unserialize().

This is basically just the header right now, but there's an untested
mechanism in place to fill out the table and make sure everything is
updated correctly.
