Gem5Platform requires a host output directory as one if it's instantiation parameters. This is not something we want to expose a configuration parameter to the user, as for WA, the standard output directory ought to be used. Up to this point, WA's target instatiation process assumed that all parameters came from the user, and there was no way for WA itself to set them. This commit adds extra_platform_parms argument to instantiate_target, to remedi this. extra_platform_parms is then used to set the host output directory for gem5 appropriately. |

Workload Automation
+++++++++++++++++++
Workload Automation (WA) is a framework for executing workloads and collecting
measurements on Android and Linux devices. WA includes automation for nearly 50
workloads (mostly Android), some common instrumentation (ftrace, ARM
Streamline, hwmon). A number of output formats are supported.
Workload Automation is designed primarily as a developer tool/framework to
facilitate data driven development by providing a method of collecting
measurements from a device in a repeatable way.
Workload Automation is highly extensible. Most of the concrete functionality is
implemented via plug-ins, and it is easy to write new plug-ins to support new
device types, workloads, instrumentation or output processing.
Requirements
============
- Python 2.7
- Linux (should work on other Unixes, but untested)
