Queued prefetcher entries now count with a priority field. The idea is to
add packets ordered by priority and then by age.
For the existing algorithms in which priority doesn't make sense, it is set
to 0 for all deferred packets in the queue.

In general, the ThreadID parameter is unnecessary in the memory system
as the ContextID is what is used for the purposes of locks/wakeups.
Since we allocate sequential ContextIDs for each thread on MT-enabled
CPUs, ThreadID is unnecessary as the CPUs can identify the requesting
thread through sideband info (SenderState / LSQ entries) or ContextID
offset from the base ContextID for a cpu.
This is a re-spin of 20264eb after the revert (bd1c6789) and includes
some fixes of that commit.

upstream code and have been reverted for now:
e07fd01651f3: power: Add support for power models

This patch removes the RequestCause, and also simplifies how we
schedule the sending of packets through the memory-side port. The
deassertion of bus requests is removed as it is not used.

Embrace C++11 for the deferred packets as we actually store the
objects in the data structure, and not just pointers.

Re-organizes the prefetcher class structure. Previously the
BasePrefetcher forced multiple assumptions on the prefetchers that
inherited from it. This patch makes the BasePrefetcher class truly
representative of base functionality. For example, the base class no
longer enforces FIFO order. Instead, prefetchers with FIFO requests
(like the existing stride and tagged prefetchers) now inherit from a
new QueuedPrefetcher base class.
Finally, the stride-based prefetcher now assumes a custimizable lookup table
(sets/ways) rather than the previous fully associative structure.
