David Guillen Fandos 7cfb59d6e5 sim: Adding support for power models
This patch adds some basic support for power models in gem5.

The power interface is defined so it can interact with thermal
models as well. It implements a simple power evaluator that
can be used for simple power models that express power in the
form of a math expression. These expressions can use stats
within the same SimObject (or down its hierarchy) and some
magic variables such as "temp" for temperature.
In future patches we will extend this functionality to allow
slightly more complex expressions.

The model allows it to be extended to use other kinds of models.

# Enumerate set of allowed power states that can be used by a clocked object.
# The list is kept generic to express a base minimal set.
# State definition :-
# Undefined: Invalid state, no power state derived information is available.
# On: The logic block is actively running and consuming dynamic and leakage
# energy depending on the amount of processing required.
# Clk_gated: The clock circuity within the block is gated to save dynamic
# energy, the power supply to the block is still on and leakage
# energy is being consumed by the block.
# Sram_retention: The SRAMs within the logic blocks are pulled into retention
# state to reduce leakage energy further.
# Off: The logic block is power gated and is not consuming any energy.
