misc: Add explicit overrides and fix other clang >= 3.5 issues
This patch adds explicit overrides as this is now required when using "-Wall" with clang >= 3.5, the latter now part of the most recent XCode. The patch consequently removes "virtual" for those methods where "override" is added. The latter should be enough of an indication.
As part of this patch, a few minor issues that clang >= 3.5 complains about are also resolved (unused methods and variables).

misc: Remove redundant compiler-specific defines
This patch moves away from using M5_ATTR_OVERRIDE and the m5::hashmap (and similar) abstractions, as these are no longer needed with gcc 4.7 and clang 3.1 as minimum compiler versions.

sim: Refactor the serialization base class
Objects that are can be serialized are supposed to inherit from the Serializable class. This class is meant to provide a unified API for such objects. However, so far it has mainly been used by SimObjects due to some fundamental design limitations. This changeset redesigns to the serialization interface to make it more generic and hide the underlying checkpoint storage. Specifically:
* Add a set of APIs to serialize into a subsection of the current object. Previously, objects that needed this functionality would use ad-hoc solutions using nameOut() and section name generation. In the new world, an object that implements the interface has the methods serializeSection() and unserializeSection() that serialize into a named /subsection/ of the current object. Calling serialize() serializes an object into the current section.
* Move the name() method from Serializable to SimObject as it is no longer needed for serialization. The fully qualified section name is generated by the main serialization code on the fly as objects serialize sub-objects.
* Add a scoped ScopedCheckpointSection helper class. Some objects need to serialize data structures, that are not deriving from Serializable, into subsections. Previously, this was done using nameOut() and manual section name generation. To simplify this, this changeset introduces a ScopedCheckpointSection() helper class. When this class is instantiated, it adds a new /subsection/ and subsequent serialization calls during the lifetime of this helper class happen inside this section (or a subsection in case of nested sections).
* The serialize() call is now const which prevents accidental state manipulation during serialization. Objects that rely on modifying state can use the serializeOld() call instead. The default implementation simply calls serialize(). Note: The old-style calls need to be explicitly called using the serializeOld()/serializeSectionOld() style APIs. These are used by default when serializing SimObjects.
* Both the input and output checkpoints now use their own named types. This hides underlying checkpoint implementation from objects that need checkpointing and makes it easier to change the underlying checkpoint storage code.

energy: Tighter checking of levels for DFS systems
There are cases where users might by accident / intention specify less voltage operating points thatn frequency points. We consider one of these cases special: giving only a single voltage to a voltage domain effectively renders it as a static domain. This patch adds additional logic in the auxiliary parts of the functionality to handle these cases properly (simple driver asking for N>1 operating levels, we should return the same voltage for all of them) and adds error checking code in the voltage domain.

energy: Small extentions and fixes for DVFS handler
These additions allow easier interoperability with and querying from an additional controller which will be in a separate patch. Also adding warnings for changing the enabled state of the handler across checkpoint / resume and deviating from the state in the configuration.

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

power: Add voltage domains to the clock domains
This patch adds the notion of voltage domains, and groups clock domains that operate under the same voltage (i.e. power supply) into domains. Each clock domain is required to be associated with a voltage domain, and the latter requires the voltage to be explicitly set.
A voltage domain is an independently controllable voltage supply being provided to section of the design. Thus, if you wish to perform dynamic voltage scaling on a CPU, its clock domain should be associated with a separate voltage domain.
The current implementation of the voltage domain does not take into consideration cases where there are derived voltage domains running at ratio of native voltage domains, as with the case where there can be on-chip buck/boost (charge pumps) voltage regulation logic.
The regression and configuration scripts are updated with a generic voltage domain for the system, and one for the CPUs.
