 *  Gem5Control should be instantiated once to build the gem5 root.
 *  Systems from that root's config file can then be instantiated as
 *  Gem5System's using Gem5Control::makeSystem.
 *
 *  Gem5Control contains a Gem5TopLevelModule which is a SystemC
 *  module providing the gem5 `simulate' function as its sole
