=== gem5 arm Linux kernel patches
https://gem5.googlesource.com/arm/linux/ contains an ARM Linux kernel fork with a few gem5 specific Linux kernel patches on top of mainline created by ARM Holdings.
Those patches look interesting, but it is obviously not possible to understand what those patches actually do from their commit message.
So let's explain them one by one here as we understand them:
* `drm: Add component-aware simple encoder` allows you to see images through VNC: <<graphic-mode-gem5>>
* `gem5: Add support for gem5's extended GIC mode` adds support for more than 8 cores: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50248067/how-to-run-a-gem5-arm-aarch64-full-system-simulation-with-fs-py-with-more-than-8/50248068#5024806
=== gem5 stats
Lets try to understand some stats better.
