This avoids having a copy in the lookup function itself, and the
declaration of a lot of temporary TLB entry pointers in callers. The
gpu TLB seems to have had the most dependence on the original signature
of the lookup function, partially because it was relying on a somewhat
unsafe copy to a TLB entry using a base class pointer type.

Fold the GDBListener class into the main BaseRemoteGDB class, move
around a bunch of functions, convert a lot of internal functions to
be private, move some functions into the .cc, make some functions
non-virtual which didn't really need to be overridden.

This patch adds some more functionality to the cpu model and the arch to
interface with the vector register file.
This change consists mainly of augmenting ThreadContexts and ExecContexts
with calls to get/set full vectors, underlying microarchitectural elements
or lanes. Those are meant to interface with the vector register file. All
classes that implement this interface also get an appropriate implementation.
This requires implementing the vector register file for the different
models using the VecRegContainer class.
This change set also updates the Result abstraction to contemplate the
possibility of having a vector as result.
The changes also affect how the remote_gdb connection works.
There are some (nasty) side effects, such as the need to define dummy
numPhysVecRegs parameter values for architectures that do not implement
vector extensions.
Nathanael Premillieu's work with an increasing number of fixes and
improvements of mine.

The new version modularizes the implementation of the various commands,
gets rid of dynamic allocation of the register cache, fixes some small
style problems, and uses exceptions to simplify error handling internal to
the GDB stub.

Currently, the wire format of register values in g- and G-packets is
modelled using a union of uint8/16/32/64 arrays. The offset positions
of each register are expressed as a "register count" scaled according
to the width of the register in question. This results in counter-
intuitive and error-prone "register count arithmetic", and some
formats would even be altogether unrepresentable in such model, e.g.
a 64-bit register following a 32-bit one would have a fractional index
in the regs64 array.
Another difficulty is that the array is allocated before the actual
architecture of the workload is known (and therefore before the correct
size for the array can be calculated).
With this patch I propose a simpler mechanism for expressing the
register set structure. In the new code, GdbRegCache is an abstract
class; its subclasses contain straightforward structs reflecting the
register representation. The determination whether to use e.g. the
AArch32 vs. AArch64 register set (or SPARCv8 vs SPARCv9, etc.) is made
by polymorphically dispatching getregs() to the concrete subclass.
The subclass is not instantiated until it is needed for actual
g-/G-packet processing, when the mode is already known.
This patch is not meant to be merged in on its own, because it changes
the contract between src/base/remote_gdb.* and src/arch/*/remote_gdb.*,
so as it stands right now, it would break the other architectures.
In this patch only the base and the ARM code are provided for review;
once we agree on the structure, I will provide src/arch/*/remote_gdb.*
for the other architectures; those patches could then be merged in
together.

We curently use INTREG_X31 instead of INTREG_SPX when accessing the
stack pointer in GDB. gem5 normally uses INTREG_SPX to access the
stack pointer, which gets mapped to the stack pointer corresponding
(INTREG_SPn) to the current exception level. This changeset updates
the GDB interface to use SPX instead of X31 (which is always zero)
when transfering CPU state to gdb.

The remote GDB interface currently doesn't check if translations are
valid before reading memory. This causes a panic when GDB tries to
access unmapped memory (e.g., when getting a stack trace). There are
two reasons for this: 1) The function used to check for valid
translations (virtvalid()) doesn't work and panics on invalid
translations. 2) The method in the GDB interface used to test if a
translation is valid (RemoteGDB::acc) always returns true regardless
of the return from virtvalid().
This changeset fixes both of these issues.

The new single stepping implementation for x86 doesn't rely on any ISA
specific properties or functionality. This change pulls out the per ISA
implementation of those functions and promotes the X86 implementation to the
base class.
One drawback of that implementation is that the CPU might stop on an
instruction twice if it's affected by both breakpoints and single stepping.
While that might be a little surprising, it's harmless and would only happen
under somewhat unlikely circumstances.

Not all ISAs have 64 bit sized registers, so it's not always very convenient
to access the GDB register cache in 64 bit sized chunks. This change makes it
accessible in 8, 16, 32, or 64 bit chunks. The MIPS and ARM implementations
were working around that limitation by bundling and unbundling 32 bit values
into 64 bit values. That code has been removed.

Another churn to clean up undefined behaviour, mostly ARM, but some
parts also touching the generic part of the code base.
Most of the fixes are simply ensuring that proper intialisation. One
of the more subtle changes is the return type of the sign-extension,
which is changed to uint64_t. This is to avoid shifting negative
values (undefined behaviour) in the ISA code.

Note: AArch64 and AArch32 interworking is not supported. If you use an AArch64
kernel you are restricted to AArch64 user-mode binaries. This will be addressed
in a later patch.
Note: Virtualization is only supported in AArch32 mode. This will also be fixed
in a later patch.

This change pulls the instruction decoding machinery (including caches) out of
the StaticInst class and puts it into its own class. This has a few intrinsic
benefits. First, the StaticInst code, which has gotten to be quite large, gets
simpler. Second, the code that handles decode caching is now separated out
into its own component and can be looked at in isolation, making it easier to
understand. I took the opportunity to restructure the code a bit which will
hopefully also help.
Beyond that, this change also lays some ground work for each ISA to have its
own, potentially stateful decode object. We'd be able to include less
contextualizing information in the ExtMachInst objects since that context
would be applied at the decoder. Also, the decoder could "know" ahead of time
that all the instructions it's going to see are going to be, for instance, 64
bit mode, and it will have one less thing to check when it decodes them.
Because the decode caching mechanism has been separated out, it's now possible
to have multiple caches which correspond to different types of decoding
context. Having one cache for each element of the cross product of different
configurations may become prohibitive, so it may be desirable to clear out the
cache when relatively static state changes and not to have one for each
setting.
Because the decode function is no longer universally accessible as a static
member of the StaticInst class, a new function was added to the ThreadContexts
that returns the applicable decode object.

At the same time, rename the trace flags to debug flags since they
have broader usage than simply tracing. This means that
--trace-flags is now --debug-flags and --trace-help is now --debug-help
