    You say *posargs in this code, whereas we use *args everywhere else in the 
python code.  (Python itself uses *args, so I'd suggest a change for 
consistency).
    I assume that the *args is for backward compat where people say 
instantiate(root).  If so, perhaps you should document this.  Actually, is it 
really even worth doing all of this?  It's pretty trivial to update a script to 
support this and if people are updating to the latest M5, it's not a huge 
change to ask of them.  We don't typically dirty the code with backward compat 
stuff.

    I don't understand why you overload both __new__ and __init__.  Seems like 
everything should go in __new__. (i.e. why not just fatal() in __new__?)  I 
think you might also need to pass **kwargs to SimObject.__new__.
    
    All this said, I'm not sure how __new__ interacts with a metaclass, so I 
could be wrong.
