mem: Add crossbar latencies
This patch introduces latencies in crossbar that were neglected before. In particular, it adds three parameters in crossbar model: front_end_latency, forward_latency, and response_latency. Along with these parameters, three corresponding members are added: frontEndLatency, forwardLatency, and responseLatency. The coherent crossbar has an additional snoop_response_latency. The latency of the request path through the xbar is set as --> frontEndLatency + forwardLatency In case the snoop filter is enabled, the request path latency is charged also by look-up latency of the snoop filter. --> frontEndLatency + SF(lookupLatency) + forwardLatency. The latency of the response path through the xbar is set instead as --> responseLatency. In case of snoop response, if the response is treated as a normal response the latency associated is again --> responseLatency; If instead it is forwarded as snoop response we add an additional variable + snoopResponseLatency and the latency associated is --> snoopResponseLatency; Furthermore, this patch lets the crossbar progress on the next clock edge after an unused retry, changing the time the crossbar considers itself busy after sending a retry that was not acted upon.
