c75ff71139 mem: Remove threadId from memory request class
In general, the ThreadID parameter is unnecessary in the memory system
as the ContextID is what is used for the purposes of locks/wakeups.
Since we allocate sequential ContextIDs for each thread on MT-enabled
CPUs, ThreadID is unnecessary as the CPUs can identify the requesting
thread through sideband info (SenderState / LSQ entries) or ContextID
offset from the base ContextID for a cpu.

This is a re-spin of 20264eb after the revert (bd1c6789) and includes
some fixes of that commit.

b4282af318 ext: fix SST connector
Should work with SST 5.1 and trunk as of right now.

83e07c07f9 ext: fix SST connector
The renamings in changesets 8f5993cf (2015-03-23) "mem: rename
Locked/LOCKED to LockedRMW/LOCKED_RMW" and fdd4a895 (2015-07-03)
"mem: Split WriteInvalidateReq into write and invalidate" broke the
SST connector.  This commit repeats those renamings in ext/sst.

f05cb84ed1 ext: Add SST connector
This patch adds a connector that allows gem5 to be used as a component
in SST (Structural Simulation Toolkit, sst-simulator.org). At a high
level, this allows memory traffic to pass between the two simulators.
SST Links are roughly analogous to gem5 Ports, although Links do not
have a notion of master and slave. This distinction is important to
gem5, so when connecting a gem5 CPU to an SST cache, an ExternalSlave
must be used, and similarly when connecting the memory side of SST cache
to a gem5 port (for memory <-> I/O), an ExternalMaster must be used.

These connectors handle the administrative aspects of gem5
(initialization, simulation, shutdown) as well as translating SST's
MemEvents into gem5 Packets and vice-versa.
