gem5: Add checkpoint support

Browse Source 
We add the ability to explicitly take checkpoints when running with a
gem5 system. As we cannot have any state which is shared between the
host and simulated system, we first unmount the VirtIO device, take
the checkpoint, and then remount the VirtIO device into the simulated
system.
