/**
* Object drain/handover states
*
* An object starts out in the Running state. When the simulator
* prepares to take a snapshot or prepares a CPU for handover, it
* calls the drain() method to transfer the object into the Draining
* or Drained state. If any object enters the Draining state
* (Drainable::drain() returning >0), simulation continues until it
* all objects have entered the Drained state.
*
* Before resuming simulation, the simulator calls resume() to
* transfer the object to the Running state. This in turn results in a
* call to drainResume() for all Drainable objects in the
* simulator. New Drainable objects may be created while resuming. In
* such cases, the new objects will be created in the Resuming state
* and later resumed.
*
* \note Even though the state of an object (visible to the rest of
* the world through Drainable::getState()) could be used to determine
* if all objects have entered the Drained state, the protocol is
* actually a bit more elaborate. See Drainable::drain() for details.

*
* @note A System might not be completely drained even though the
* DrainManager has caused the simulation loop to exit. Draining needs
* to be restarted until all Drainable objects declare that they don't

/**
* Interface for objects that might require draining before

*
* An object's internal state needs to be drained when creating a
* checkpoint, switching between CPU models, or switching between
* timing models. Once the internal state has been drained from
* <i>all</i> objects in the simulator, the objects are serialized to
* disc or the configuration change takes place. The process works as
* follows (see simulate.py for details):
*
* <ol>
* <li>DrainManager::tryDrain() calls Drainable::drain() for every
* object in the system. Draining has completed if all of them
* return true. Otherwise, the drain manager keeps track of the
* objects that requested draining and waits for them to signal
* that they are done draining using the signalDrainDone() method.
*
* <li>Continue simulation. When an object has finished draining its
* internal state, it calls DrainManager::signalDrainDone() on the
* manager. The drain manager keeps track of the objects that
* haven't drained yet, simulation stops when the set of
* non-drained objects becomes empty.
*
* <li>Check if any object still needs draining
* (DrainManager::tryDrain()), if so repeat the process above.
*
* <li>Serialize objects, switch CPU model, or change timing model.
*
* <li>Call DrainManager::resume(), which in turn calls
* Drainable::drainResume() for all objects, and then continue the
* simulation.
