mem: different HMC configuration
In this new hmc configuration we have used the existing components in gem5 mainly [SerialLink] [NoncoherentXbar]& [DRAMCtrl] to define 3 different architecture for HMC. Highlights 1- It explores 3 different HMC architectures 2- It creates 4-HMC crossbars and attaches 16 vault controllers with it. This will connect vaults to serial links 3- From the previous version, HMCController with round robin funtionality is being removed and all the serial links are being accessible directly from user ports 4- Latency incorporated by HMCController (in previous version) is being added to SerialLink Committed by Jason Lowe-Power <jason@lowepower.com>

+# the added latency for sending a request to non-local vault(bridge in b/t
+# crossbars). All the 4 serial links can access complete memory. So each

+# distributed: It has 4 crossbars inside the HMC. Crossbars are not
+# connected.Through each crossbar only local vaults can be accessed. But to
