I ran across a small problem with this patch. The global pointer m5_mem is used 
inside of m5op_x86.S (if M5OP_ADDR is defined) and is declared inside of m5.c. 
This means that I can no longer link my ROI-annotated workload only to 
m5op_x86.o (because I need m5_mem). However, linking to m5.o to get at the 
m5_mem causes a symbol conflict on main(). 

One solution is simply to not use M5OP_ADDR (I'm not sure I need this feature 
at the moment). 

My workaround was to pull the m5_mem pointer and map_m5_mem() functions into 
its own m5_mem.o file and link to both m5op_x86.o and m5_mem.o 

I can post a patch if you think this is helpful.
