arm: Share a port for the two table walker objects
This patch changes how the MMU and table walkers are created such that a single port is used to connect the MMU and the TLBs to the memory system. Previously two ports were needed as there are two table walker objects (stage one and stage two), and they both had a port. Now the port itself is moved to the Stage2MMU, and each TableWalker is simply using the port from the parent. By using the same port we also remove the need for having an additional crossbar joining the two ports before the walker cache or the L2. This simplifies the creation of the CPU cache topology in BaseCPU.py considerably. Moreover, for naming and symmetry reasons, the TLB walker port is connected through the stage-one table walker thus making the naming identical to x86. Along the same line, we use the stage-one table walker to generate the master id that is used by all TLB-related requests.
