---------------------------

arm, config: added support for ex5 model of big.LITTLE
This patch enables using calibrated big and LITTLE

cores, ex5_big and ex5_LITTLE instead of the default

'arm_detailed' and 'minor' cpus. The ex5 model is based

on the Samsung Exynos 5 Octa (5422) SoC. Operation and

memory hierarchy latencies have been calibrated using the

lmbench micro-benchmark suite. The preliminary validation

results have been published as:

'Full-System Simulation of big.LITTLE Multicore Architecture

for Performance and Energy Exploration', in International

Symposium on Embedded Multicore/Many-core Systems-on-Chip

(MCSoC'16), Lyon, France (Sep, 2016).
