f2db2a96d1 arm, tests: Update config files to more recent kernels and create 64-bit regressions.
This changes the default ARM system to a Versatile Express-like system that supports
2GB of memory and PCI devices and updates the default kernels/file-systems for
AArch64 ARM systems (64-bit) to support up to 32GB of memory and PCI devices. Some
platforms that are no longer supported have been pruned from the configuration files.

In addition a set of 64-bit ARM regressions have been added to the regression system.

2b0438a11e tests: Use more representative configs for ARM tests
This patch changes the CPU and cache configurations used in the ARM SE and FS
regressions to make them more representative, and also get better code
coverage by exercising different replacement policies and use an L2
prefetcher.

a8480fe1c3 config: Move the memory instantiation outside FSConfig
This patch moves the instantiation of the memory controller outside
FSConfig and instead relies on the mem_ranges to pass the information
to the caller (e.g. fs.py or one of the regression scripts). The main
motivation for this change is to expose the structural composition of
the memory system and allow more tuning and configuration without
adding a large number of options to the makeSystem functions.

The patch updates the relevant example scripts to maintain the current
functionality. As the order that ports are connected to the memory bus
changes (in certain regresisons), some bus stats are shuffled
around. For example, what used to be layer 0 is now layer 1.

Going forward, options will be added to support the addition of
multi-channel memory controllers.

3bc4ecdcb4 mem: More descriptive DRAM config names
This patch changes the class names of the variuos DRAM configurations
to better reflect what memory they are based on. The speed and
interface width is now part of the name, and also the alias that is
used to select them on the command line.

Some minor changes are done to the actual parameters, to better
reflect the named configurations. As a result of these changes the
regressions change slightly and the stats will be bumped in a separate
patch.

3477d60d5c config: Add a mem-type config option to se/fs scripts
This patch enables selection of the memory controller class through a
mem-type command-line option. Behind the scenes, this option is
treated much like the cpu-type, and a similar framework is used to
resolve the valid options, and translate the short-hand description to
a valid class.

The regression scripts are updated with a hardcoded memory class for
the moment. The best solution going forward is probably to get the
memory out of the makeSystem functions, but Ruby complicates things as
it does not connect the memory controller to the membus.

5f2361f3af arm: Enable support for triggering a sim panic on kernel panics
Add the options 'panic_on_panic' and 'panic_on_oops' to the
LinuxArmSystem SimObject. When these option are enabled, the simulator
panics when the guest kernel panics or oopses. Enable panic on panic
and panic on oops in ARM-based test cases.

5fb00e1df6 tests: Add CPU switching tests
This changeset adds a set of tests that stress the CPU switching
code. It adds the following test configurations:

 * tsunami-switcheroo-full -- Alpha system (atomic, timing, O3)
 * realview-switcheroo-atomic -- ARM system (atomic<->atomic)
 * realview-switcheroo-timing -- ARM system (timing<->timing)
 * realview-switcheroo-o3 -- ARM system (O3<->O3)
 * realview-switcheroo-full -- ARM system (atomic, timing, O3)

Reference data is provided for the 10.linux-boot test case. All of the
tests trigger a CPU switch once per millisecond during the boot
process.

The in-order CPU model was not included in any of the tests as it does
not support CPU handover.

f32f372455 tests: Create base classes to encapsulate common test configurations
Most of the test cases currently contain a large amount of duplicated
boiler plate code. This changeset introduces a set of classes that
encapsulates most of the functionality when setting up a test
configuration.

The following base classes are introduced:
* BaseSystem - Basic system configuration that can be used for both
               SE and FS simulation.

* BaseFSSystem - Basic FS configuration uni-processor and multi-processor
                 configurations.

* BaseFSSystemUniprocessor - Basic FS configuration for uni-processor
                             configurations. This is provided as a way
			     to make existing test cases backwards
			     compatible.

Architecture specific implementations are provided for ARM, Alpha, and
X86.
