sim: remove kernel mapping check for baremetal workloads

Browse source 
Baremetal workloads are specified using the "kernel" parameter, but
don't always have the correct address mappings. This patch adds a
boolean flag to the system and bypasses the kernel addr mapping checks
when running in baremetal mode.
