2017-04-11	power: Allow global stats in power equations	Stephan Diestelhorst
	Allow global stats such as sim_seconds in power equations to make it possible to convert from event stats to rate stats.

2017-04-06	power: Add a voltage variable to power expressions	Andreas Sandberg
	There is currently no good way of extracting the current operating voltage in MathExprPowerModels. This change adds a magic variable, 'voltage', that can be referenced from such expressions to get the current operating voltage.

2017-04-06	power: Add error checking to MathExprPowerModel	Andreas Sandberg
	MathExprPower model currently doesn't print any useful error messages if an expression fails to evaluate. To add insult to injury, the model only detects a failure when dumping stats and not at initialization. This change adds a verification step in startup() that ensures that all of the referenced stats actually exist.

2016-06-06	sim: Adding support for power models	David Guillen Fandos
	This patch adds some basic support for power models in gem5. The power interface is defined so it can interact with thermal models as well. It implements a simple power evaluator that can be used for simple power models that express power in the form of a math expression. These expressions can use stats within the same SimObject (or down its hierarchy) and some magic variables such as "temp" for temperature. In future patches we will extend this functionality to allow slightly more complex expressions. The model allows it to be extended to use other kinds of models.
