/**
 * @file
 *
 * ExternalSlave is a memory object representing a binding from
 * a gem5 master to a slave port in a system external to gem5.
 *
 * During initialisation, a `handler' for the port type specified in the
 * port's port_type parameter is found from the registered port handlers
 * provided with registerHandler.  Once a handler is found, it is passed the
 * port_data parameter of the port which can be used to identify the external
 * port which is to be bound to.  A port handler will usually construct a
 * bridge object in the external system to accomodate the port-to-port
 * mapping but this bridge is not exposed to gem5 other than be the
 * presentation of the SlavePort which can be bound.
 *
 * The external port must provide a gem5 SlavePort interface (with the
 * exception of getAddrRanges which is provided by the ExternalSlave
 * object).
