This change fixes a few bugs and refactors the mechanism by which
caches that use the FALRU tags can output statistics for multiple
cache sizes ranging from the minimum cache of interest up to the
actual configured cache size.

change 2a15bfd79ced20a6d4cbf0a0a4c2fbb1444b9a44 introduced
a few bugs in the tlb of the cu. asserts in the gpu tlb
and cu expected the page table lookup() function to return
a bool, and this value was used directly in the gpu tlb's
assert and it was kept in the gpu tlb entry, where later
the cu would assert that it is true.
this change fixes the issue by checking the validity of
the pte pointer returned by lookup() in order to set
the validity of the tlb entry itself.

When EL3 is not implemented or it is running on AArch64, Secure banking
does not apply and there is only one flatten register version. In this
scenario gem5 is using the _NS (Non-secure) version as a default backing
storage location: secure mode software must be able to access the
non-secure register.

There are many devices that need to handle reads/writes of different
word sizes. A common pattern is a switch statement that check for the
size of a packet and then calls the corresponding
Packet::(get|set)<uintXX_t> methods. Simplify this by implementing
Packet::(get|set)UintX helper functions.
The getter reads a word of the size specified in the packet and the
specified endianness. The word is then zero-extended to 64
bits. Conversely, the setter truncates the word down to the size
required in the packet and then byte-swaps it to the desired
endianness.

This patch introduces the TarmacTracer: an instruction tracer which

Implemented Trace Type:
Instruction Trace
Register Trace
Processor Memory Access Trace
Unimplemented Trace Type:
Program Flow Trace
Event Trace
Memory Bus Trace

A new InstTracer (TarmacParser) has been implemented. This tracer is
parsing a pre-existing Tarmac trace file [1] while gem5 is running; it
is comparing execution data together with trace data and it is dumping
differences.
This allows to use Tarmac format as a glue between heterogeneous
simuators speaking the same Tarmac language.
Kudos to Giacomo Gabrielli for writing the original tracer.

The instruction representation is already encoded in the trace
protobuf, so there's no reason to encode a part of it again. This is
especially true since this supposedly generic code is extracting the
first 8 bits of the machInst, a totally arbitrary set of bits for most
ISAs. If certain bits within a machine instruction are actually
relevant, the consumer of the trace should be able to interpret the
instruction bytes which are already there and extract the same bits
within the context of whatever ISA they're appropriate for.

This function takes a pointer to a buffer and the current size of the
buffer as a pass by reference argument. If the size of the buffer is
sufficient, the function stores a binary representation of itself
(generally the ISA defined instruction encoding) in the buffer, and
sets the size argument to how much space it used. This could be used
by ISAs which have two instruction sizes (ARM and thumb, for example).
If the buffer size isn't sufficient, then the size parameter should be
set to what size is required, and then the function should return
without modifying the buffer.
The buffer itself should be aligned to the same standard as memory
returned by new, specifically "The pointer returned shall be suitably
aligned so that it can be converted to a pointer of any complete object
type and then used to access the object or array in the storage
allocated...". This will avoid having to memcpy buffers to avoid
unaligned accesses.
To standardize the representation of the data, it should be stored in
the buffer as little endian. Since most hosts (including ARM and x86
hosts) will be little endian, this will almost always be a no-op.
