I have another patch that I haven't posted yet that used to rely on the 
incrementing PID that I deleted here. I haven't figured out how I want to 
address the issue yet. The two obvious ways are to make the changes in Python 
or make the changes in C++ and use the counter to increment the value when new 
Process classes are created. I think that I might have to use the incrementing 
version with clone and I might add that functionality back in with C++, but 
I'll increment the _pid field that you see here in this patch rather than 
having nextPID, M5_pid, and _pid. We don't need several versions of the same 
thing to make it work.
