 *
 *  The event loop here services gem5 events in order at the current time
 *  and then yielding to another SystemC thread.  gem5 events are not
 *  individually scheduled in SystemC.  For this reason, asynchronous events
 *  and function interaction (for example TLM) with gem5 from SystemC must
 *  notify the module so that the yielding 'wait' can be interrupted.
 *  From the point of view of another SystemC module calling into gem5,
 *  curTick can lag SystemC time, be exactly the same time but *never*
 *  lead SystemC time.
 *
 *  This functionality is wrapped in an sc_module as its intended that
 *  the a class representing top level simulation control should be derived
 *  from this class. */
