/**
 * Basically a wrapper class to hold both the branch predictor
 * and the BTB.  Right now I'm unsure of the implementation; it would
 * be nicer to have something closer to the CPUPolicy or the Impl where
 * this is just typedefs, but it forces the upper level stages to be
 * aware of the constructors of the BP and the BTB.  The nicer thing
 * to do is have this templated on the Impl, accept the usual Params
 * object, and be able to call the constructors on the BP and BTB.
