Mem: Add a maximum bandwidth to SimpleMemory
This patch makes a minor addition to the SimpleMemory by enforcing a
maximum data rate. The bandwidth is configurable, and a reasonable
value (12.8GB/s) has been choosen as the default.
The changes do add some complexity to the SimpleMemory, but they
should definitely be justifiable as this enables a far more realistic
setup using even this simple memory controller.
The rate regulation is done for reads and writes combined to reflect
the bidirectional data busses used by most (if not all) relevant
memories. Moreover, the regulation is done per packet as opposed to
long term, as it is the short term data rate (data bus width times
frequency) that is the limiting factor.
A follow-up patch bumps the stats for the regressions.
