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.

This is a quick hack to communicate a greater number of CPUs to a guest OS via
the ARM A9 SCU config register. Some OSes (Linux) just look at the bottom field
to count CPUs and with a small change can look at bits [3:0] to learn about up
to 16 CPUs.
Very much unsupported (and contains warning messages as such) but useful for
running 8 core sims without hardwiring CPU count in the guest OS.

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