Adding regression tests for m5threads to text x86 and the new futex system call. Note, m5threads seems to be broken with Ruby in the SPARC ISA and with the classic caches in x86. The ruby test was already being skipped with SPARC ISA. The patch also skips testing m5threads with the classic caches + x86 combination. When these problems are addressed, the skip files should be removed.

Marc, can you only post the files that you have either modified or created on your own?
It is not necessary to post all the stats, config files that get updated with this
change.
  1. If I don't post the stats files, how can you infer which configurations I intend to run the regression with? Mercurial doesn't manage directories.
  2. This review has been reposted 1211 (new m5threads test configuration) and 1212 (testing m5threads with new test configuration and x86 ISA).
