Andreas Sandberg 5fb00e1df6 tests: Add CPU switching tests
This changeset adds a set of tests that stress the CPU switching
code. It adds the following test configurations:

 * tsunami-switcheroo-full -- Alpha system (atomic, timing, O3)
 * realview-switcheroo-atomic -- ARM system (atomic<->atomic)
 * realview-switcheroo-timing -- ARM system (timing<->timing)
 * realview-switcheroo-o3 -- ARM system (O3<->O3)
 * realview-switcheroo-full -- ARM system (atomic, timing, O3)

Reference data is provided for the 10.linux-boot test case. All of the
tests trigger a CPU switch once per millisecond during the boot
process.

The in-order CPU model was not included in any of the tests as it does
not support CPU handover.

The switcheroo test runner is used to switch CPUs in a system that
has been prepared for CPU switching. Such systems should have
multiple CPUs when they are instantiated, but only one should be
switched in. Such configurations can be created using the
base_config.BaseFSSwitcheroo class.
A CPU switcher object is used to control switching. The default
switcher sequentially switches between all CPUs in a system,
starting with the CPU that is currently switched in.
Unlike most other test runners, this one automatically configures
the memory mode of the system based on the first CPU the switcher
reports.
Keyword Arguments:
switcher -- CPU switcher implementation. See Sequential for
an example implementation.
period -- Switching frequency in Hz.
