The DTRACE() macro tests both Trace::enabled and the specific flag. This
change uses the same administrative interface for enabling/disabling
tracing, but masks the SimpleFlags settings directly. This eliminates a
load for every DTRACE() test, e.g. DPRINTF.
The CleanEvict command was not considered in /util/tlm/sc_port.cc this could
lead to a simulator crash. This issue is solved by ignoring this special
command type.

Transaction Level Modeling (TLM2.0) is widely used in industry for creating
virtual platforms (IEEE 1666 SystemC). This patch contains a standard compliant
implementation of an external gem5 port, that enables the usage of gem5 as a
TLM initiator component in SystemC based virtual platforms. Both TLM coding
paradigms loosely timed (b_transport) and aproximately timed (nb_transport) are
supported.
Compared to the original patch a TLM memory manager was added. Furthermore, the
transaction object was removed and for each TLM payload a PacketPointer that
points to the original gem5 packet is added as an TLM extension. For event
handling single events are now created.
