arch-arm: Implement ARMv8.1-PAN, Privileged access never
ARMv8.1-PAN adds a new bit to PSTATE. When the value of this PAN state bit is 1, any privileged data access from EL1 or EL2 to a virtual memory address that is accessible at EL0 generates a Permission fault. This feature is mandatory in ARMv8.1 implementations. This feature is supported in AArch64 and AArch32 states. The ID_AA64MMFR1_EL1.PAN, ID_MMFR3_EL1.PAN, and ID_MMFR3.PAN fields identify the support for ARMv8.1-PAN.

arch-arm: ArmSystem::resetAddr64 renamed to be used in AArch32
ARMv8 differs from ARMv7 with the presence of RVBAR register, which contains the implementation defined reset address when EL3 is not implemented. The entry 0x0 in the AArch32 vector table, once used for the Reset Vector, is now marked as "Not used", stating that it is now IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED. An implementation might still use this vector table entry to hold the Reset vector, but having a Reset address != than the general vector table (for any other exception) is allowed.
At the moment any Reset exception is still using 0 as a vector table base address. This patch is extending the ArmSystem::resetAddr64 to ArmSystem::resetAddr so that it can be used for initializing MVBAR/RVBAR. In order to do so, we are providing a specialized behavior for the Reset exception when evaluating the vector base address.

Furthermore, trying to use it fails with:
object 'RealViewEB' has no attribute 'pci_host'

arm: DT autogeneration - Device Tree generation methods
This patch adds an extra layer to the pyfdt library such that usage gets easier and device tree nodes can be specified in less code, without limiting original usage. Note to not import both the pyfdt and fdthelper in the same namespace (but generally fdthelper is all you need, because it supplies the same classes even when they are not extended in any way)
Also, this patch lays out the primary functionality for generating a device tree, where every SimObject gets an empty generateDeviceTree method and ArmSystems loop over their children in an effort to merge all the nodes. Devices are implemented in other patches.

sim: Implement load_addr_mask auto-calculation
Recent Linux kernels for AArch64 have changed their start addresses but we still want to relocate the kernel to 0x80080000 which required hacking the load_addr_mask in Realview.py to be 0x7ffffff from 0xfffffff to mask off the proper number of MSBs to load the kernel in the desired location. To avoid having to make this change in the future again, we auto-calculate the load_addr_mask if it is specified as 0x0 in the System sim-object to find the most restrictive address mask instead of having the configuration specify it. If the configuration does specify the address mask, we use it instead of auto-calculating.

python: Use PyBind11 instead of SWIG for Python wrappers
Use the PyBind11 wrapping infrastructure instead of SWIG to generate wrappers for functionality that needs to be exported to Python. This has several benefits:
* PyBind11 can be redistributed with gem5, which means that we have full control of the version used. This avoid a large number of hard-to-debug SWIG issues we have seen in the past.
* PyBind11 doesn't rely on a custom C++ parser, instead it relies on wrappers being explicitly declared in C++. The leads to slightly more boiler-plate code in manually created wrappers, but doesn't doesn't increase the overall code size. A big benefit is that this avoids strange compilation errors when SWIG doesn't understand modern language features.
* Unlike SWIG, there is no risk that the wrapper code incorporates incorrect type casts (this has happened on numerous occasions in the past) since these will result in compile-time errors.
As a part of this change, the mechanism to define exported methods has been redesigned slightly. New methods can be exported either by declaring them in the SimObject declaration and decorating them with the cxxMethod decorator or by adding an instance of PyBindMethod/PyBindProperty to the cxx_exports class variable. The decorator has the added benefit of making it possible to add a docstring and naming the method's parameters.
The new wrappers have the following known issues:
* Global events can't be memory managed correctly. This was the case in SWIG as well.

sim: Include object header files in SWIG interfaces
When casting objects in the generated SWIG interfaces, SWIG uses classical C-style casts ( (Foo *)bar; ). In some cases, this can degenerate into the equivalent of a reinterpret_cast (mainly if only a forward declaration of the type is available). This usually works for most compilers, but it is known to break if multiple inheritance is used anywhere in the object hierarchy.
This patch introduces the cxx_header attribute to Python SimObject definitions, which should be used to specify a header to include in the SWIG interface. The header should include the declaration of the wrapped object. We currently don't enforce header the use of the header attribute, but a warning will be generated for objects that do not use it.

MEM: Enable multiple distributed generalized memories
This patch removes the assumption on having on single instance of PhysicalMemory, and enables a distributed memory where the individual memories in the system are each responsible for a single contiguous address range.
All memories inherit from an AbstractMemory that encompasses the basic behaviuor of a random access memory, and provides untimed access methods. What was previously called PhysicalMemory is now SimpleMemory, and a subclass of AbstractMemory. All future types of memory controllers should inherit from AbstractMemory.
To enable e.g. the atomic CPU and RubyPort to access the now distributed memory, the system has a wrapper class, called PhysicalMemory that is aware of all the memories in the system and their associated address ranges. This class thus acts as an infinitely-fast bus and performs address decoding for these "shortcut" accesses. Each memory can specify that it should not be part of the global address map (used e.g. by the functional memories by some testers). Moreover, each memory can be configured to be reported to the OS configuration table, useful for populating ATAG structures, and any potential ACPI tables.
Checkpointing support currently assumes that all memories have the same size and organisation when creating and resuming from the checkpoint. A future patch will enable a more flexible re-organisation.

ARM: Fix SWP/SWPB undefined instruction behavior
SWP and SWPB now throw an undefined instruction exception if SCTLR.SW == 0. This also required the MIDR to be changed slightly so programs can correctly determine that gem5 supports the ARM v7 behavior of SWP/SWPB (in ARM v6, SWP/SWPB were deprecated, but not disabled at CPU startup).

Loader: Make the load address mask be a parameter of the system rather than a constant.
This allows one two different OS requirements for the same ISA to be handled. Some OSes are compiled for a virtual address and need to be loaded into physical memory that starts at address 0, while other bare metal tools generate images that start at address 0.
