This patch has a minor fix for the coupling between gem5 and SystemC-TLM.
It also fixes some typos in the related documentation.

Implementing the Module as an sc_channel allows derived classes to provide
SystemC interfaces. Other SystemC modules can connect to these interfaces.
This meachanism can be used to control gem5 and acces gem5 components from
within arbitrary SystemC moduels. Since sc_channel is derived from
sc_module, this patch does not break compatibility with existing code.

This patch adds a '-n' flag to the gem5 SystemC driver which allows
multiple CPUs to be switched out to a new CPU. Primarily this involves
appending CPU numbers to the objects searched for in the config
manager if there are multiple CPUs in the system.
Note that an equivalent change should be made to the util/cxx_config driver,
but I wanted to get input on this first before making the same change over
there

The non-standard sc_time constructors
- sc_time( uint64, bool scale )
- sc_time( double, bool scale )
have been deprecated in SystemC 2.3.1 and a warning is issued when being
used. Insted the new 'sc_time::from_value' function is used to omit the
warning message.

In previous versions of systemC-gem5 coupling statistics were not updated
for the systemc-gem5 simulation. systemC-gem5 simulation only need the
previously built config.ini file and normal gem5 simulation has to be run
once to generate config.ini file. Thus stats.txt inside the m5out folder is
redundant for systemC-gem5 simulation. A new stats file is now generated
with the all the statistics for systemC-gem5 simulation. This will also
resolve the stats issue in tlm-sysmtemC simulation.

Due to changes in Drain Manager, the lastest systemc coupling doesn't work. The
code for handling Checkpoint has been modified and it is now compatiable with
new drain manager.
Testing is being done on systemC coupling. It needs more testing to verify
checkpointing feature.

The DTRACE() macro tests both Trace::enabled and the specific flag. This
change uses the same administrative interface for enabling/disabling
tracing, but masks the SimpleFlags settings directly. This eliminates a
load for every DTRACE() test, e.g. DPRINTF.

If the terminal was used in the SystemC or TLM simulations the simulation gets
in a deadlock state. This is because of the Event queue gets locked while
servicing the async events leading to event queue deadlock. This was solved by
locking the queue at the beginning of service of async events.

This patch fixes checkpoint restore in the SystemC hosting example by handling
early PollEvent events correctly before any EventQueue events are posted.
The SystemC event queue handler (SCEventQueue) reports an error if the event
loop is entered with no Events posted. It is possible for this to happen
after instantiate due to PollEvent events. This patch separates out
`external' events into a different handler in sc_module.cc to prevent the
error from occurring.
This fix also improves the event handling of asynchronous events by:
1) Making asynchronous events 'catch up' gem5 time to SystemC
time to avoid the appearance that events have been lost
while servicing an asynchronous event that schedules an
event loop exit event
2) Add an in_simulate data member to Module to allow the event
loop to check whether events should be processed or deferred
until the next time Module::simulate is entered
3) Cancel pending events around the entry/exit of the event loop
in Module::simulate
4) Moving the state initialisation of the example entirely into
run to correct a problem with early events in checkpoint
restore.
It is still possible to schedule asynchronous events (and talk PollQueue
actions) while simulate is not running. This behaviour may stil cause
some problems.

This patch cleans up a few style issues and adds a few capabilities to the
SystemC top level 'Gem5Control/Gem5System' mechanism. These include:
1) A space to store/retrieve a version string for a model
2) A mechanism for registering functions to be called at the end of
elaboration to perform simulation setup tasks in SystemC
3) Adding setGDBRemotePort to the Gem5Control
4) Changing the sc_set_time_resolution behaviour to instead check that
the SystemC time resolution is already acceptable

This patch hosts gem5 onto SystemC scheduler. There's already an upstream
review board patch that does something similar but this patch ...:
1) is less obtrusive to the existing gem5 code organisation. It's divided
into the 'generic' preparatory patches (already submitted) and this patch
which affects no existing files
2) does not try to exactly track the gem5 event queue with notifys into
SystemC and so doesn't requive the event queue to be modified for
anything other than 'out of event queue' scheduling events
3) supports debug logging with SC_REPORT
The patch consists of the files:
util/systemc/
sc_gem5_control.{cc,hh} -- top level objects to use to
instantiate gem5 Systems within
larger SystemC test harnesses as
sc_module objects
sc_logger.{cc,hh} -- logging support
sc_module.{cc,hh} -- a separated event loop specific to
SystemC
stats.{cc,hh} -- example Stats handling for the sample
top level
main.{cc,hh} -- a sample top level
On the downside this patch is only currently functional with C++
configuration at the top level.
The above sc_... files are indended to be compiled alongside gem5 (as a
library, see main.cc for a command line and util/systemc/README for
more details.)
The top-level system instantiation in sc_gem5_control.{cc,hh} provides
two classes: Gem5Control and Gem5System
Gem5Control is a simulation control class (from which a singleton
object should be created) derived from Gem5SystemC::Module which
carries the top level simulation control interface for gem5. This
includes hosting a system-building configuration file and
instantiating the Root object from that file.
Gem5System is a base class for instantiating renamed gem5 Systems
from the config file hosted by the Gem5Control object. In use, a
SystemC module class should be made which represents the desired,
instantiable gem5 System. That class's instances should create
a Gem5System during their construction, set the parameters of that
system and then call instantiate to build that system. If this
is all carried out in the sc_core::sc_module-derived classes
constructor, the System's external ports will become children of
that module and can then be recovered by name using sc_core::
sc_find_object.
It is intended that this interface is used with dlopen. To that
end, the header file sc_gem5_control.hh includes no other header
files from gem5 (and so can be easily copied into another project).
The classes Gem5System and Gem5Control have all their member
functions declared `virtual' so that those functions can be called
through the vtable acquired by building the top level Gem5Control
using dlsym(..., "makeGem5Control") and `makeSystem' on the
Gem5Control.
