Used cppclean to help identify useless includes and removed them. This
involved erroneously included headers, but also cases where forward
declarations could have been used rather than a full include.

Objects that are can be serialized are supposed to inherit from the
Serializable class. This class is meant to provide a unified API for
such objects. However, so far it has mainly been used by SimObjects
due to some fundamental design limitations. This changeset redesigns
to the serialization interface to make it more generic and hide the
underlying checkpoint storage. Specifically:
* Add a set of APIs to serialize into a subsection of the current
object. Previously, objects that needed this functionality would
use ad-hoc solutions using nameOut() and section name
generation. In the new world, an object that implements the
interface has the methods serializeSection() and
unserializeSection() that serialize into a named /subsection/ of
the current object. Calling serialize() serializes an object into
the current section.
* Move the name() method from Serializable to SimObject as it is no
longer needed for serialization. The fully qualified section name
is generated by the main serialization code on the fly as objects
serialize sub-objects.
* Add a scoped ScopedCheckpointSection helper class. Some objects
need to serialize data structures, that are not deriving from
Serializable, into subsections. Previously, this was done using
nameOut() and manual section name generation. To simplify this,
this changeset introduces a ScopedCheckpointSection() helper
class. When this class is instantiated, it adds a new /subsection/
and subsequent serialization calls during the lifetime of this
helper class happen inside this section (or a subsection in case
of nested sections).
* The serialize() call is now const which prevents accidental state
manipulation during serialization. Objects that rely on modifying
state can use the serializeOld() call instead. The default
implementation simply calls serialize(). Note: The old-style calls
need to be explicitly called using the
serializeOld()/serializeSectionOld() style APIs. These are used by
default when serializing SimObjects.
* Both the input and output checkpoints now use their own named
types. This hides underlying checkpoint implementation from
objects that need checkpointing and makes it easier to change the
underlying checkpoint storage code.

This change includes edits to MC146818 timer to prevent RTC events
firing before startup to comply with SimObject initialization call sequence.

Rewrite reg A & B handling to use the bitunion stuff instead of bit
masking. Add better error messages when the kernel tries to enable
unsupported stuff.

This patch adds a _curTick variable to an eventq. This variable is updated
whenever an event is serviced in function serviceOne(), or all events upto
a particular time are processed in function serviceEvents(). This change
helps when there are eventqs that do not make use of curTick for scheduling
events.

This patch takes the final plunge and transitions from the templated
Range class to the more specific AddrRange. In doing so it changes the
obvious Range<Addr> to AddrRange, and also bumps the range_map to be
AddrRangeMap.
In addition to the obvious changes, including the removal of redundant
includes, this patch also does some house keeping in preparing for the
introduction of address interleaving support in the ranges. The Range
class is also stripped of all the functionality that is never used.

rename : src/base/range.hh => src/base/addr_range.hh
rename : src/base/range_map.hh => src/base/addr_range_map.hh

This step makes it easy to replace the accessor functions
(which still access a global variable) with ones that access
per-thread curTick values.

It's not the right fix for the checkpoint deadlock problem
Brad was having, and creates another bug where the system can
deadlock on restore. Brad can't reproduce the original bug
right now, so we'll wait until it arises again and then try
to fix it the right way then.

Added drain functions to the RTC and 8254 timer so that periodic interrupts
stop when the system is draining. This patch is needed to checkpoint in
timing mode. Otherwise under certain situations, the event queue will never
be completely empty.

For now, there is still a single global event queue, but this is
necessary for making the steps towards a parallelized m5.
