alpha,arm,mips,power,riscv,sparc,x86: Merge exec decl templates.

In the ISA instruction definitions, some classes were declared with
execute, etc., functions outside of the main template because they
had CPU specific signatures and would need to be duplicated with
each CPU plugged into them. Now that the instructions always just
use an ExecContext, there's no reason for those templates to be
separate. This change folds those templates together.

riscv: [Patch 4/5] Added RISC-V atomic memory extension RV64A

Fourth of five patches adding RISC-V to GEM5. This patch adds the RV64A
extension, which includes atomic memory instructions. These instructions
atomically read a value from memory, modify it with a value contained in a
source register, and store the original memory value in the destination
register and modified value back into memory. Because this requires two
memory accesses and GEM5 does not support two timing memory accesses in
a single instruction, each of these instructions is split into two micro-
ops: A "load" micro-op, which reads the memory, and a "store" micro-op,
which modifies and writes it back. Each atomic memory instruction also has
two bits that acquire and release a lock on its memory location.
Additionally, there are atomic load and store instructions that only either
load or store, but not both, and can acquire or release memory locks.

Note that because the current implementation of RISC-V only supports one
core and one thread, it doesn't make sense to make use of AMO instructions.
However, they do form a standard extension of the RISC-V ISA, so they are
included mostly as a placeholder for when multithreaded execution is
implemented. As a result, any tests for their correctness in a future
patch may be abbreviated.

Patch 1 introduced RISC-V and implemented the base instruction set, RV64I;
patch 2 implemented the integer multiply extension, RV64M; and patch 3
implemented the single- and double-precision floating point extensions,
RV64FD.

Patch 5 will add support for timing, minor, and detailed CPU models that
isn't present in patches 1-4.

[Added missing file amo.isa]
[Replaced information removed from initial patch that was missed during
division into multiple patches.]
[Fixed some minor formatting issues.]
[Fixed oversight where LR and SC didn't have both AQ and RL flags.]

arch: [Patch 1/5] Added RISC-V base instruction set RV64I

First of five patches adding RISC-V to GEM5. This patch introduces the
base 64-bit ISA (RV64I) in src/arch/riscv for use with syscall emulation.
The multiply, floating point, and atomic memory instructions will be added
in additional patches, as well as support for more detailed CPU models.
The loader is also modified to be able to parse RISC-V ELF files, and a
"Hello world\!" example for RISC-V is added to test-progs.

Patch 2 will implement the multiply extension, RV64M; patch 3 will implement
the floating point (single- and double-precision) extensions, RV64FD;
patch 4 will implement the atomic memory instructions, RV64A, and patch 5
will add support for timing, minor, and detailed CPU models that is missing
from the first four patches (such as handling locked memory).

[Removed several unused parameters and imports from RiscvInterrupts.py,
RiscvISA.py, and RiscvSystem.py.]
[Fixed copyright information in RISC-V files copied from elsewhere that had
ARM licenses attached.]
[Reorganized instruction definitions in decoder.isa so that they are sorted
by opcode in preparation for the addition of ISA extensions M, A, F, D.]
[Fixed formatting of several files, removed some variables and
instructions that were missed when moving them to other patches, fixed
RISC-V Foundation copyright attribution, and fixed history of files
copied from other architectures using hg copy.]
[Fixed indentation of switch cases in isa.cc.]
[Reorganized syscall descriptions in linux/process.cc to remove large
number of repeated unimplemented system calls and added implmementations
to functions that have received them since it process.cc was first
created.]
[Fixed spacing for some copyright attributions.]
[Replaced the rest of the file copies using hg copy.]
[Fixed style check errors and corrected unaligned memory accesses.]
[Fix some minor formatting mistakes.]
