This gem5 configuation script creates a simple board sharing the same
structure as the one in
configs/example/gem5_library/checkpoint/riscv-hello-save-checkpoint.py.
This script restores the checkpoint generated by the above script, and
runs the rest of "riscv-hello" binary simulation.
This configuration serves as an example of restoring a checkpoint.

This is setup is the close to the simplest setup possible using the gem5
library. It does not contain any kind of caching, IO, or any non-essential
components.

Usage
-----

```
scons build/RISCV/gem5.opt
./build/RISCV/gem5.opt \
    configs/example/gem5_library/checkpoint/riscv-hello-restore-checkpoint.py
