There was a collision with a name used in fs.py, and that causes that script
not to work when used with x86.

In preparation for the introduction of Master and Slave ports, this
patch removes the default port parameter in the Python port and thus
forces the argument list of the Port to contain only the
description. The drawback at this point is that the config port and
dma port of PCI and DMA devices have to be connected explicitly. This
is key for future diversification as the pio and config port are
slaves, but the dma port is a master.

This patch makes the bus bridge uni-directional and specialises the
bus ports to be a master port and a slave port. This greatly
simplifies the assumptions on both sides as either port only has to
deal with requests or responses. The following patches introduce the
notion of master and slave ports, and would not be possible without
this split of responsibilities.
In making the bridge unidirectional, the address range mechanism of
the bridge is also changed. For the cases where communication is
taking place both ways, an additional bridge is needed. This causes
issues with the existing mechanism, as the busses cannot determine
when to stop iterating the address updates from the two bridges. To
avoid this issue, and also greatly simplify the specification, the
bridge now has a fixed set of address ranges, specified at creation
time.

Port proxies are used to replace non-structural ports, and thus enable
all ports in the system to correspond to a structural entity. This has
the advantage of accessing memory through the normal memory subsystem
and thus allowing any constellation of distributed memories, address
maps, etc. Most accesses are done through the "system port" that is
used for loading binaries, debugging etc. For the entities that belong
to the CPU, e.g. threads and thread contexts, they wrap the CPU data
port in a port proxy.
The following replacements are made:
FunctionalPort > PortProxy
TranslatingPort > SETranslatingPortProxy
VirtualPort > FSTranslatingPortProxy

Currently there is an assumption that restoration from a checkpoint will
happen by first restoring to an atomic CPU and then switching to a timing
CPU. This patch adds support for directly restoring to a timing CPU. It
adds a new option '--restore-with-cpu' which is used to specify the type
of CPU to which the checkpoint should be restored to. It defaults to
'atomic' which was the case before.

This patch adds a new option for cpu type. This option is of type 'choice'
which is similar to a C++ enum, except that it takes string values as
possible choices. Following options are being removed -- detailed, timing,
inorder.

There are two lines in O3CPU.py that set the dcache and icache
tgts_per_mshr to 20, ignoring any pre-configured value of tgts_per_mshr.
This patch removes these hardcoded lines from O3CPU.py and sets the default
L1 cache mshr targets to 20.

A significant contributor to the need for adoptOrphanParams()
is the practice of appending to SimObjectVectors which have
already been assigned as children. This practice sidesteps the
assignment operation for those appended SimObjects, which is
where parent/child relationships are typically established.
This patch reworks the config scripts that use append() on
SimObjectVectors, which all happen to be in the x86 system
configuration. At some point in the future, I hope to make
SimObjectVectors immutable (by deriving from tuple rather than
list), at which time this patch will be necessary for correct
operation. For now, it just avoids some of the warning
messages that get printed in adoptOrphanParams().

maxinsts & max_inst redundant
prog_intvl and profile seem redundant, but profile looks to be unused

This patch moves the assignment of testsys.switch_cpus, testsys.switch_cpus_1,
switch_cpu_list, and switch_cpu_list1 outside of the for loop so they are
assigned only once, after switch_cpus and switch_cpus_1 are constructed.

non-cache.
This change fixes the problem for all the cases we actively use. If you want to try
more creative I/O device attachments (E.g. sharing an L2), this won't work. You
would need another level of caching between the I/O device and the cache
(which you actually need anyway with our current code to make sure writes
propagate). This is required so that you can mark the cache in between as
top level and it won't try to send ownership of a block to the I/O device.
Asserts have been added that should catch any issues.

env was being implicitly imported into Benchmarks.py through SysPaths.py.
This change brings it in explicitly in the file where it's used.

makeArmSystem creates both bare-metal and Linux systems more cleanly.
machine_type was never optional though listed as an optional argument; a system
such as "RealView_PBX" must now be explicitly specified. Now that it is a
required argument, the placement of the arguments has changed slightly
requiring some changes to calls that create ARM systems.

It's confusing (especially to new users), when you are setting some standard
parameters (as defined in Options.py) and they aren't reflected in the simulations
so we might as well link the settings in CacheConfig.py to those in Options.py

This way things that don't care about work count options and/or aren't called
by something that has those command line options set up doesn't have to build
a fake object to carry in inert values.

This makes sure that the address ranges requested for caches and uncached ports
don't conflict with each other, and that accesses which are always uncached
(message signaled interrupts for instance) don't waste time passing through
caches.

The disk image to use was always being forced to a particular value. This
change changes what disk image is selected as the default based on the
architecture being built. In the future, a more sophisticated system might be
used that selected a path based on certain rules instead of relying on one off
file names.

Small L1 caches are connected to the TLB walkers when caches are used. This
allows them to participate in the coherence protocol properly.

Most of the messages in the config scripts that report a time value already
print "@ tick" followed by the current tick value, but a few were printing
"@ cycle". Since this is a distinction that's frequently confusing to new
users, this changes those message to the more accurate and consistent "@ tick".

Physmem has a parameter to be able to mem map a file, however
it isn't actually used. This changeset utilizes the parameter
so a file can be mmapped.

The previous slower ruby latencies created a mismatch between the faster M5
cpu models and the much slower ruby memory system. Specifically smp
interrupts were much slower and infrequent, as well as cpus moving in and out
of spin locks. The result was many cpus were idle for large periods of time.
These changes fix the latency mismatch.

Meant to add these with the previous batch of csets.
