The only part of the MaserPort the PortProxy uses is the sendFunctional
function which is part of the functional protocol. Rather than require
a MasterPort which comes along with a lot of other mechanisms, this
change slightly adjusts the PortProxy to only require that function
through the use of a delegate. That allows lots of flexibility in how
the actual packet gets sent and what sends it.
In cases where code constructs a PortProxy and passes its constructor
an unbound MasterPort, the PortProxy will create a delegate to the
sendFunctional method on its own.
This should also make it easier for objects which don't have
traditional gem5 style ports, for instance systemc models, to implement
just the little bit of the protocol they need, rather than having to
stub out a whole port class, most of which will be ignored.

This version takes a char * instead of an std::string &, and a maximum
length to fill in like strncpy. This is intended to be a replacement
for the CopyStringOut function.

The void * type is for pointers which point to an unknown type. We
should use that when handling anonymous buffers in the PortProxy
functions, instead of uint8_t * which points to bytes.
Importantly, C/C++ doesn't require you to do any casting to turn an
arbitrary pointer type into a void *. This will get rid of lots of
tedious, verbose casting throughout the code base.

These were originally in the SETranslatingPortProxy class, but they're
not specific to SE mode in any way and are an unnecessary divergence
between the SE and FS mode translating port proxies.

The idea of a "secure" memory area/access is specific to ARM and
shouldn't be in the common mem directory, although it's built in to the
generic memory protocol at this point.
Regardless, it should minimially be in its own file like the virtual
and physical port proxy classes are.

This patch is changing the underlying type for RequestPtr from Request*
to shared_ptr<Request>. Having memory requests being managed by smart
pointers will simplify the code; it will also prevent memory leakage and
dangling pointers.

The current physical port proxy doesn't know how to tag memory
accesses as secure. Refactor the class slightly to create a set of
methods (readBlobPhys, writeBlobPhys, memsetBlobPhys) that always
access physical memory and take a set of Request::Flags as an
argument. The new port proxy, SecurePortProxy, uses this interface to
issue secure physical accesses.

This patch tidies up how we create and set the fields of a Request. In
essence it tries to use the constructor where possible (as opposed to
setPhys and setVirt), thus avoiding spreading the information across a
number of locations. In fact, setPhys is made private as part of this
patch, and a number of places where we callede setVirt instead uses
the appropriate constructor.

This patch changes the various write functions in the port proxies
to use const pointers for all sources (similar to how memcpy works).
The one unfortunate aspect is the need for a const_cast in the packet,
to avoid having to juggle a const and a non-const data pointer. This
design decision can always be re-evaluated at a later stage.

This patch removes the notion of a peer block size and instead sets
the cache line size on the system level.
Previously the size was set per cache, and communicated through the
interconnect. There were plenty checks to ensure that everyone had the
same size specified, and these checks are now removed. Another benefit
that is not yet harnessed is that the cache line size is now known at
construction time, rather than after the port binding. Hence, the
block size can be locally stored and does not have to be queried every
time it is used.
A follow-on patch updates the configuration scripts accordingly.

This patch simplifies the packet by removing the broadcast flag and
instead more firmly relying on (and enforcing) the semantics of
transactions in the classic memory system, i.e. request packets are
routed from a master to a slave based on the address, and when they
are created they have neither a valid source, nor destination. On
their way to the slave, the request packet is updated with a source
field for all modules that multiplex packets from multiple master
(e.g. a bus). When a request packet is turned into a response packet
(at the final slave), it moves the potentially populated source field
to the destination field, and the response packet is routed through
any multiplexing components back to the master based on the
destination field.
Modules that connect multiplexing components, such as caches and
bridges store any existing source and destination field in the sender
state as a stack (just as before).
The packet constructor is simplified in that there is no longer a need
to pass the Packet::Broadcast as the destination (this was always the
case for the classic memory system). In the case of Ruby, rather than
using the parameter to the constructor we now rely on setDest, as
there is already another three-argument constructor in the packet
class.
In many places where the packet information was printed as part of
DPRINTFs, request packets would be printed with a numeric "dest" that
would always be -1 (Broadcast) and that field is now removed from the
printing.

This is a trivial patch that merely makes all the member functions of
the port proxies const. There is no good reason why they should not
be, and this change only serves to make it explicit that they are not
modified through their use.

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).
