The new version extracts all the x86 specific aspects of the class,
and builds the interface around a variable collection of template
arguments which are classes that represent the different levels of the
page table. The multilevel page table class is now much more ISA
independent.

Use the system object to allocate physical memory instead of manually
placing certain structures and then forcing the system to start other
allocations after them in physical memory.

Don't get it from a global constant declared in an ISA header file.

Now that Nothing inherits from PageTableBase directly, it can be
merged into FuncPageTable. This change also takes the opportunity to
rename the combined class to EmulationPageTable which lets you know
that it's specifically for SE mode.
Also remove the page table entry cache since it doesn't seem to
actually improve performance. The TLBs likely absorb the majority of
the locality, essentially acting like a cache like they would in real
hardware.

KVM looks up translations using the image of the page table in the
guest's memory, but we don't have to. By maintaining that image in
addition to rather than instead of maintaining an abstract copy makes
our lookups faster, and ironically avoids duplicate implementation.

This breaks one more architecture dependence outside of the ISAs.

CPUs have historically instantiated the architecture specific version
of the TLBs to avoid a virtual function call, making them a little bit
more dependent on what the current ISA is. Some simple performance
measurement, the x86 twolf regression on the atomic CPU, shows that
there isn't actually any performance benefit, and if anything the
simulator goes slightly faster (although still within margin of error)
when the TLB functions are virtual.
This change switches everything outside of the architectures themselves
to use the generic BaseTLB type, and then inside the ISA for them to
cast that to their architecture specific type to call into architecture
specific interfaces.
The ARM TLB needed the most adjustment since it was using non-standard
translation function signatures. Specifically, they all took an extra
"type" parameter which defaulted to normal, and translateTiming
returned a Fault. translateTiming actually doesn't need to return a
Fault because everywhere that consumed it just stored it into a
structure which it then deleted(?), and the fault is stored in the
Translation object when the translation is done.
A little more work is needed to fully obviate the arch/tlb.hh header,
so the TheISA::TLB type is still visible outside of the ISAs.
Specifically, the TlbEntry type is used in the generic PageTable which
lives in src/mem.

Used cppclean to help identify useless includes and removed them. This
involved erroneously included headers, but also cases where forward
declarations could have been used rather than a full include.

This patch moves away from using M5_ATTR_OVERRIDE and the m5::hashmap
(and similar) abstractions, as these are no longer needed with gcc 4.7
and clang 3.1 as minimum compiler versions.

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 adds uncacheable/cacheable and read-only/read-write attributes to
the map method of PageTableBase. It also modifies the constructor of TlbEntry
structs for all architectures to consider the new attributes.

This patch defines a multi-level page table class that stores the page table in
system memory, consistent with ISA specifications. In this way, cpu models that
use the actual hardware to execute (e.g. KvmCPU), are able to traverse the page
table.
