1721f184d6 gem5: track build and run variants separately with -M and -N
Otherwise, checking out branches is too insane, as it does not
update the worktrees, even though the gem5/gem5 module was updated.

gem5: expose build types, document debug builds.

simultaneous runs: store stdout and stderr on a file to allow running
all from a single terminal on the background cleanly.

af210a7671 Move arm to virt armv7, unify arm QEMU and gem5 builds
gem5 requires armv7, and we learnt that the versatiledb we were using
was pre-v7.

We could have moved to -M vexpress-*, but in the end decided to go for
-M virt due to its simpliciy, and uniformity with aarch64.

platform_device: does not work anymore and was removed, since it was tied
to versatilepb.

We left a mention on the README and removed all in tree source. The QEMU
patch is still left as it was.

As a consequence, the linux tree had no other patches, and we now use
vanilla linux by default, which is a great thing for reproducibility.

Another consequence is the /poweroff.out works for arm -M virt,
and we removed all mentions of the problem.

b8413532a5 Build gem5 through buildroot
Oh, btw, also make it work, since the build was completely broken since
the recent -K refactoring :0)

2c4a9476be Fix x86 build with GEM5. Boot still fails as before.
Use ./run -g instead of ./rungem5.

More convenient GEM5 kernel command line options with -e differentially.

9e5173f324 GEM5 checkpoint
Add gem5 as buildroot package to cross compile m5.

Add gem5 as a submodule.

Split gem5 from arch on CLI with "-a arm -g" instead of "-a arm-gem5".
