Add support for using KVM to accelerate APU simulations. The intended use
case is to fast-forward through runtime initialization until the first
kernel launch.
Only map memories into the KVM guest address space that are
marked as usable by KVM. Create BackingStoreEntry class
containing flags for is_conf_reported, in_addr_map, and
kvm_map.

Previously printing an mshr would trigger an assertion if the MSHR was
not in service or if the targets list was empty. This patch changes
the print function to bypasses the accessor functions for
postInvalidate and postDowngrade and avoid the relevant assertions. It
also checks if the targets list is empty before calling print on it.

An email sent to gem5-users and gem5-dev asking if anyone was
still using EIO traces got no responses, so it seems like it's
not worth maintaining this any longer.
Secure and non-secure data can coexist in the cache and therefore the
snoop filter should treat differently packets with secure and non
secure accesses. This patch uses the lower bits of the line address to
keep track of whether the packet is addressing secure memory or not.

This patch improves the snoop filter allocation decisions by not only
looking at whether a port is snooping or not, but also if the packet
actually came from a cache. The issue with only looking at isSnooping
is that the CPU ports, for example, are snooping, but not actually
caching. Previously we ended up incorrectly allocating entries in
systems without caches (such as the atomic and timing quick
regressions). Eventually these misguided allocations caused the snoop
filter to panic due to an excessive size.
On the request path we now include the fromCache check on the packet
itself, and for responses we check if we actually have a snoop-filter
entry.

This patch takes yet another step in maintaining the clusivity, in
that it allows a mostly-inclusive cache to hold on to blocks even when
responding to a ReadExReq or UpgradeReq. Previously the cache simply
invalidated these blocks, but there is no strict need to do so.
The most important part of this patch is that we simply mark the block
clean when satisfying the upstream request where the cache is allowed
to keep the block. The only tricky part of the patch is in the memory
management of deferred snoops, where we need to distinguish the cases
where only the packet was copied (we expected to respond), and the
cases where we created an entirely new packet and request (we kept it
only to replay later).
The code in satisfyRequest is definitely ready for some refactoring
after this.

This patch changes how the mostly exclusive policy is enforced to
ensure that we drop blocks when we should. As part of this change, the
actual invalidation due to the clusivity enforcement is moved outside
the hit handling, to a separate method maintainClusivity. For the
timing mode that means we can deal with all MSHR targets before taking
any action and possibly dropping the block. The method
satisfyCpuSideRequest is also renamed satisfyRequest as part of this
change (since we only ever see requests from the cpu-side port).

This patch adds a FromCache attribute to the packet, and updates a

requests came from a cache or not, and this is used by both the cache

The behavior of WFI is to cause minor to cease evaluating
pipeline logic until an interrupt is observed, however
a user may wish to drain the system while a core is sleeping
due to a WFI. This patch makes WFI drain. If an actual
drain occurs during a WFI, the CPU is already drained and will
immediately be ready for swapping, checkpointing, etc. This
should not negatively impact performance as WFI instructions
are 'stream-changing' (treated like unpredicted branches), so
all remaining instructions are wrong-path and will be squashed
rapidly.
