Andreas Hansson 2f5262eb67 config: Make configs/common a Python package
Continue along the same line as the recent patch that made the
Ruby-related config scripts Python packages and make also the
configs/common directory a package.

All affected config scripts are updated (hopefully).

Note that this change makes it apparent that the current organisation
and naming of the config directory and its subdirectories is rather
chaotic. We mix scripts that are directly invoked with scripts that
merely contain convenience functions. While it is not addressed in
this patch we should follow up with a re-organisation of the
config structure, and renaming of some of the packages.

Learning_gem README
-------------------
This directory contains the configuration scripts used in the "Learning gem5"
book. The scripts contained in these directories are for educational purposes
only and should not be used for architectural research as-is.

"Learning gem5" is currently in early development stages. A pre-alpha working
version of the book can be found at the following URL.

http://lowepower.com/jason/learning_gem5/

This directory is broken into one subdirectory per part of the book.

Goals of these scripts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These scripts are not necessarily useful outside the scope of the learning
gem5 book. The goal is to include the learning gem5 scripts, following the
book as closely as possible, so that the regression tester will catch any
changes that affect the book.

For general users, these are *not* good scripts to use for running complex
architectural experiments. These scripts *are* a good starting point example
of how to write your own scripts for experiments.
