/* Create a fully initialized simulator instance.

   (This function is called when the simulator is selected from the
   gdb command line.)

   KIND specifies how the simulator shall be used.  Currently there
   are only two kinds: stand-alone and debug.

   CALLBACK specifies a standard host callback (defined in callback.h).

   ABFD, when non NULL, designates a target program.  The program is
   not loaded.

   ARGV is a standard ARGV pointer such as that passed from the
   command line.  The syntax of the argument list is is assumed to be
   ``SIM-PROG { SIM-OPTION } [ TARGET-PROGRAM { TARGET-OPTION } ]''.
   The trailing TARGET-PROGRAM and args are only valid for a
   stand-alone simulator.

   On success, the result is a non NULL descriptor that shall be
   passed to the other sim_foo functions.  While the simulator
   configuration can be parameterized by (in decreasing precedence)
   ARGV's SIM-OPTION, ARGV's TARGET-PROGRAM and the ABFD argument, the
   successful creation of the simulator shall not dependent on the
   presence of any of these arguments/options.

   Hardware simulator: The created simulator shall be sufficiently
   initialized to handle, with out restrictions any client requests
   (including memory reads/writes, register fetch/stores and a
   resume).

   Process simulator: that process is not created until a call to
   sim_create_inferior.  FIXME: What should the state of the simulator
   be? */

   are permitted and have an accumulative effect.

   ABFD, if not NULL, provides initial processor state information.

   Hardware simulator: This function shall initialize the processor
   registers to a known value.  The program counter and possibly stack
   pointer shall be set using information obtained from ABFD (or
   hardware reset defaults).  ARGV and ENV, dependant on the target
   ABI, may be written to memory.

   Process simulator: After a call to this function, a new process
   instance shall exist. The TEXT, DATA, BSS and stack regions shall
   all be initialized, ARGV and ENV shall be written to process
   address space (according to the applicable ABI) and the program
   counter and stack pointer set accordingly. */
