branch predictor: move out of o3 and inorder cpus
This patch moves the branch predictor files in the o3 and inorder directories to src/cpu/pred. This allows sharing the branch predictor across different cpu models. This patch was originally posted by Timothy Jones in July 2010 but never made it to the repository. --HG-- rename : src/cpu/o3/bpred_unit.cc => src/cpu/pred/bpred_unit.cc rename : src/cpu/o3/bpred_unit.hh => src/cpu/pred/bpred_unit.hh rename : src/cpu/o3/bpred_unit_impl.hh => src/cpu/pred/bpred_unit_impl.hh rename : src/cpu/o3/sat_counter.hh => src/cpu/pred/sat_counter.hh
