riscv: fix Linux problems with LR and SC ops

Some of the functions in the Linux toolchain that allocate memory make
use of paired LR and SC instructions, which didn't work properly for
that toolchain. This patch fixes that so attempting to use those
functions doesn't cause an endless loop of failed SC instructions.

riscv: [Patch 8/5] Added some regression tests to RISC-V

This patch is the eighth patch in a series adding RISC-V to gem5, and
third of the bonus patches to the original series of five. It adds some
regression tests to RISC-V.

Regression tests included:
- se/00.hello
- se/02.insttest (split into several binaries which are not included due
to large size)

The tests added to 00.insttest will need to be build manually; to
facilitate this, a Makefile is included. The required toolchain and
compiler (riscv64-unknown-elf-gcc) can be built from the riscv-tools
GitHub repository at https://github.com/riscv/riscv-tools.

Note that because EBREAK only makes sense when gdb is running or while in
FS mode, it is not included in the linux-rv64i insttest. ERET is not
included because it does not make sense in SE mode and, in fact, causes
a panic by design.

Note also that not every system call is tested in linux-rv64i; of the ones
defined in linux/process.hh, some have been given numbers but not
definitions for the toolchain, or are merely stubs that always return 0. Of
the ones that do work properly, only a subset are tested due to similar
functionality.
