Checker CPUs currently don't inherit from the CheckerCPU in the Python
object hierarchy. This has two consequences:
* It makes CPU model discovery from the Python world somewhat
complicated as there is no way of testing if a CPU is a checker.
* Parameters are duplicated in the checker configuration
specification.
This changeset makes all checker CPUs inherit from the base checker
CPU class.
In order to create reliable SWIG wrappers, we need to include the
declaration of the wrapped class in the SWIG file. Previously, we
didn't expose the declaration of checker CPUs. This patch adds header
files for such CPUs and include them in the SWIG wrapper.

This patch removes the overloading of the parameter, which seems both
redundant, and possibly incorrect.
The inorder CPU is particularly interesting as it uses a different
name for the parameter, and never make any use of it internally.
Brings the CheckerCPU back to life to allow FS and SE checking of the
O3CPU. These changes have only been tested with the ARM ISA. Other
ISAs potentially require modification.
Get rid of misc.py and just stick misc things in __init__.py
Move utility functions out of SCons files and into m5.util
Move utility type stuff from m5/__init__.py to m5/util/__init__.py
Remove buildEnv from m5 and allow access only from m5.defines
Rename AddToPath to addToPath while we're moving it to m5.util
Rename read_command to readCommand while we're moving it

python type of a latency. In addition, the multiple definitions of profile in the different cpu models caused
problems for intialization of the interval value. If a child class's profile value was defined, the parent
BaseCPU::ProfileEvent interval field would be initialized with a garbage value. The fix was to remove the
multiple redifitions of profile in the child CPU classes.
