This gem5 configuation script creates a simple board to run the first
10^6 ticks of "riscv-hello" binary simulation and saves a checkpoint.
This configuration serves as an example of taking 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 \
