Revert "cpu: fix how a thread starts up in MinorCPU"
This reverts commit 02dafc5498750d9734ba8f2a1608a846f90b71d1. The commit was part of a patchset which broke MinorCPU regressions (switcheroo)

cpu: fix how a thread starts up in MinorCPU
When a thread is activated by another thread calling a clone system call, the child thread's context is initialized in the middle of the clone system call and before the context is fully initialized. Therefore, the child thread starts fetching an unitialized PC, which could lead to a page fault.
This patch adds a pipeline wakeup event that is scheduled later in the cycle when the thread is activated. This event ensures that the first fetch only happens after the thread context is fully initialized (e.g., in case of clone syscall, it is when the parent thread copies its context over to the child thread).
When a thread first starts or wakes up, input queue to the Fetch2 stage needs to be drained since the execution flow is likely to change and previously fetched instructions in the queue may no longer be in the correct flow. This patch dumps/drains all inputs in the input queue of a thread context in the Fetch2 stage when the associated thread wakes up.

sim: Refactor and simplify the drain API
The drain() call currently passes around a DrainManager pointer, which is now completely pointless since there is only ever one global DrainManager in the system. It also contains vestiges from the time when SimObjects had to keep track of their child objects that needed draining.
This changeset moves all of the DrainState handling to the Drainable base class and changes the drain() and drainResume() calls to reflect this. Particularly, the drain() call has been updated to take no parameters (the DrainManager argument isn't needed) and return a DrainState instead of an unsigned integer (there is no point returning anything other than 0 or 1 any more). Drainable objects should return either DrainState::Draining (equivalent to returning 1 in the old system) if they need more time to drain or DrainState::Drained (equivalent to returning 0 in the old system) if they are already in a consistent state. Returning DrainState::Running is considered an error.
Drain done signalling is now done through the signalDrainDone() method in the Drainable class instead of using the DrainManager directly. The new call checks if the state of the object is DrainState::Draining before notifying the drain manager. This means that it is safe to call signalDrainDone() without first checking if the simulator has requested draining. The intention here is to reduce the code needed to implement draining in simple objects.

cpu: `Minor' in-order CPU model
This patch contains a new CPU model named `Minor'. Minor models a four stage in-order execution pipeline (fetch lines, decompose into macroops, decompose macroops into microops, execute).
The model was developed to support the ARM ISA but should be fixable to support all the remaining gem5 ISAs. It currently also works for Alpha, and regressions are included for ARM and Alpha (including Linux boot).
Documentation for the model can be found in src/doc/inside-minor.doxygen and its internal operations can be visualised using the Minorview tool utils/minorview.py.
Minor was designed to be fairly simple and not to engage in a lot of instruction annotation. As such, it currently has very few gathered stats and may lack other gem5 features.
Minor is faster than the o3 model. Sample results:
Benchmark | Stat host_seconds (s) ---------------+--------v--------v-------- (on ARM, opt) | simple | o3 | minor | timing | timing | timing ---------------+--------+--------+-------- 10.linux-boot | 169 | 1883 | 1075 10.mcf | 117 | 967 | 491 20.parser | 668 | 6315 | 3146 30.eon | 542 | 3413 | 2414 40.perlbmk | 2339 | 20905 | 11532 50.vortex | 122 | 1094 | 588 60.bzip2 | 2045 | 18061 | 9662 70.twolf | 207 | 2736 | 1036
