This patch introduces a new configuration parameter that allows the user to decide if a function body should be generated or skipped.
I found this pretty useful to replace some generated functions with a hand-written/custom implementation that is provided externally. To give an example: it may be desirable to replace the TLB or cache operations with actual TLB/cache ops when Sail is used to emulate instructions on actual hardware.
