python: Don't assume SimObjects live in the global namespace
The importer in Python 3 doesn't like the way we import SimObjects from the global namespace. Convert the existing SimObject declarations to import from m5.objects. As a side-effect, this makes these files consistent with configuration files.

power: Add basic DVFS support for gem5
Adds DVFS capabilities to gem5, by allowing users to specify lists for frequencies and voltages in SrcClockDomains and VoltageDomains respectively. A separate component, DVFSHandler, provides a small interface to change operating points of the associated domains.
Clock domains will be linked to voltage domains and thus allow separate clock, but shared voltage lines.
Currently all the valid performance-level updates are performed with a fixed transition latency as specified for the domain.
Config file example: ... vd = VoltageDomain(voltage = ['1V','0.95V','0.90V','0.85V']) tsys.cluster1.clk_domain.clock = ['1GHz','700MHz','400MHz','230MHz'] tsys.cluster2.clk_domain.clock = ['1GHz','700MHz','400MHz','230MHz'] tsys.cluster1.clk_domain.domain_id = 0 tsys.cluster2.clk_domain.domain_id = 1 tsys.cluster1.clk_domain.voltage_domain = vd tsys.cluster2.clk_domain.voltage_domain = vd tsys.dvfs_handler.domains = [tsys.cluster1.clk_domain, tsys.cluster2.clk_domain] tsys.dvfs_handler.enable = True

sim: Add the notion of clock domains to all ClockedObjects
This patch adds the notion of source- and derived-clock domains to the ClockedObjects. As such, all clock information is moved to the clock domain, and the ClockedObjects are grouped into domains.
The clock domains are either source domains, with a specific clock period, or derived domains that have a parent domain and a divider (potentially chained). For piece of logic that runs at a derived clock (a ratio of the clock its parent is running at) the necessary derived clock domain is created from its corresponding parent clock domain. For now, the derived clock domain only supports a divider, thus ensuring a lower speed compared to its parent. Multiplier functionality implies a PLL logic that has not been modelled yet (create a separate clock instead).
The clock domains should be used as a mechanism to provide a controllable clock source that affects clock for every clocked object lying beneath it. The clock of the domain can (in a future patch) be controlled by a handler responsible for dynamic frequency scaling of the respective clock domains.
All the config scripts have been retro-fitted with clock domains. For the System a default SrcClockDomain is created. For CPUs that run at a different speed than the system, there is a seperate clock domain created. This domain incorporates the CPU and the associated caches. As before, Ruby runs under its own clock domain.
The clock period of all domains are pre-computed, such that no virtual functions or multiplications are needed when calling clockPeriod. Instead, the clock period is pre-computed when any changes occur. For this to be possible, each clock domain tracks its children.

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.

System: Push boot_cpu_frequency down into the subclasses that actually use it.
This parameter depends on a number of coincidences to work properly. First, there must be an array assigned to system called "cpu" even though there's no parameter called that. Second, the items in the "cpu" array have to have a "clock" parameter which has a "frequency" member. This is true of the normal CPUs, but isn't true of the memory tester CPUs. This happened to work before because the memory tester CPUs were only used in SE mode where this parameter was being excluded. Since everything is being pulled into a common binary, this won't work any more. Since the boot_cpu_frequency parameter is only used by Alpha's Linux System object (and Mips's through copy and paste), the definition of that parameter is moved down to those objects specifically.

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.

Get rid of misc.py and just stick misc things in __init__.py Move utility functions out of SCons files and into m5.util Move utility type stuff from m5/__init__.py to m5/util/__init__.py Remove buildEnv from m5 and allow access only from m5.defines Rename AddToPath to addToPath while we're moving it to m5.util Rename read_command to readCommand while we're moving it Rename compare_versions to compareVersions while we're moving it.
