In this new hmc configuration we have used the existing components in gem5
mainly [SerialLink] [NoncoherentXbar]& [DRAMCtrl] to define 3 different
architecture for HMC.
Highlights
1- It explores 3 different HMC architectures
2- It creates 4-HMC crossbars and attaches 16 vault controllers with it.
This will connect vaults to serial links
3- From the previous version, HMCController with round robin funtionality
is being removed and all the serial links are being accessible directly
from user ports
4- Latency incorporated by HMCController (in previous version) is being
added to SerialLink

This changeset adds a serial link model for the Hybrid Memory Cube (HMC).
SerialLink is a simple variation of the Bridge class, with the ability to
account for the latency of packet serialization. Also trySendTiming has been
modified to correctly model bandwidth.
