Move pcidev.(hh|cc) to src/dev/pci/device.(hh|cc) and update existing
devices to use the new header location. This also renames the PCIDEV
debug flag to have a capitalization that is consistent with the PCI
host and other devices.

The gem5's current PCI host functionality is very ad hoc. The current
implementations require PCI devices to be hooked up to the
configuration space via a separate configuration port. Devices query
the platform to get their config-space address range. Un-mapped parts
of the config space are intercepted using the XBar's default port
mechanism and a magic catch-all device (PciConfigAll).
This changeset redesigns the PCI host functionality to improve code
reuse and make config-space and interrupt mapping more
transparent. Existing platform code has been updated to use the new
PCI host and configured to stay backwards compatible (i.e., no
guest-side visible changes). The current implementation does not
expose any new functionality, but it can easily be extended with
features such as automatic interrupt mapping.
PCI devices now register themselves with a PCI host controller. The
host controller interface is defined in the abstract base class
PciHost. Registration is done by PciHost::registerDevice() which takes
the device, its bus position (bus/dev/func tuple), and its interrupt
pin (INTA-INTC) as a parameter. The registration interface returns a
PciHost::DeviceInterface that the PCI device can use to query memory
mappings and signal interrupts.
The host device manages the entire PCI configuration space. Accesses
to devices decoded into the devices bus position and then forwarded to
the correct device.
Basic PCI host functionality is implemented in the GenericPciHost base
class. Most platforms can use this class as a basic PCI controller. It
provides the following functionality:
* Configurable configuration space decoding. The number of bits
dedicated to a device is a prameter, making it possible to support
both CAM, ECAM, and legacy mappings.
* Basic interrupt mapping using the interruptLine value from a
device's configuration space. This behavior is the same as in the
old implementation. More advanced controllers can override the
interrupt mapping method to dynamically assign host interrupts to
PCI devices.
* Simple (base + addr) remapping from the PCI bus's address space to
physical addresses for PIO, memory, and DMA.

Objects that are can be serialized are supposed to inherit from the
Serializable class. This class is meant to provide a unified API for
such objects. However, so far it has mainly been used by SimObjects
due to some fundamental design limitations. This changeset redesigns
to the serialization interface to make it more generic and hide the
underlying checkpoint storage. Specifically:
* Add a set of APIs to serialize into a subsection of the current
object. Previously, objects that needed this functionality would
use ad-hoc solutions using nameOut() and section name
generation. In the new world, an object that implements the
interface has the methods serializeSection() and
unserializeSection() that serialize into a named /subsection/ of
the current object. Calling serialize() serializes an object into
the current section.
* Move the name() method from Serializable to SimObject as it is no
longer needed for serialization. The fully qualified section name
is generated by the main serialization code on the fly as objects
serialize sub-objects.
* Add a scoped ScopedCheckpointSection helper class. Some objects
need to serialize data structures, that are not deriving from
Serializable, into subsections. Previously, this was done using
nameOut() and manual section name generation. To simplify this,
this changeset introduces a ScopedCheckpointSection() helper
class. When this class is instantiated, it adds a new /subsection/
and subsequent serialization calls during the lifetime of this
helper class happen inside this section (or a subsection in case
of nested sections).
* The serialize() call is now const which prevents accidental state
manipulation during serialization. Objects that rely on modifying
state can use the serializeOld() call instead. The default
implementation simply calls serialize(). Note: The old-style calls
need to be explicitly called using the
serializeOld()/serializeSectionOld() style APIs. These are used by
default when serializing SimObjects.
* Both the input and output checkpoints now use their own named
types. This hides underlying checkpoint implementation from
objects that need checkpointing and makes it easier to change the
underlying checkpoint storage code.

This patch cleans up the packet memory allocation confusion. The data
is always allocated at the requesting side, when a packet is created
(or copied), and there is never a need for any device to allocate any
space if it is merely responding to a paket. This behaviour is in line
with how SystemC and TLM works as well, thus increasing
interoperability, and matching established conventions.
The redundant calls to Packet::allocate are removed, and the checks in
the function are tightened up to make sure data is only ever allocated
once. There are still some oddities in the packet copy constructor
where we copy the data pointer if it is static (without ownership),
and allocate new space if the data is dynamic (with ownership). The
latter is being worked on further in a follow-on patch.

Instead of relying on derived classes explicitly assigning
to the BasicPioDevice pioSize field, require them to pass
a size value in to the constructor.

This patch moves the readBlob/writeBlob/memsetBlob from the Port class
to the PortProxy class, thus making a clear separation of the basic
port functionality (recv/send functional/atomic/timing), and the
higher-level functional accessors available on the port proxies.
There are only a few places in the code base where the blob functions
were used on ports, and they are all for peeking into the memory
system without making a normal memory access (in the memtest, and the
malta and tsunami pchip). The memtest also exemplifies how easy it is
to create a non-translating proxy if desired. The malta and tsunami
pchip used a slave port to perform a functional read, and this is now
changed to rely on the physProxy of the system (to which they already
have a pointer).

This patch moves all port creation from the getPort method to be
consistently done in the MemObject's constructor. This is possible
thanks to the Swig interface passing the length of the vector ports.
Previously there was a mix of: 1) creating the ports as members (at
object construction time) and using getPort for the name resolution,
or 2) dynamically creating the ports in the getPort call. This is now
uniform. Furthermore, objects that would not be complete without a
port have these ports as members rather than having pointers to
dynamically allocated ports.
This patch also enables an elaboration-time enumeration of all the
ports in the system which can be used to determine the masterId.

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

are generated and initialized by python. The .ini file is now solely for

"generic" devices are dependent on some of those files. That will either need to change, or most likely those devices will have to be considered architecture dependent.
