This patch performs minimal changes to move the instruction and data
ports from specialised subclasses to the base CPU (to the largest
degree possible). Ultimately it servers to make the CPU(s) have a
well-defined interface to the memory sub-system.
Port proxies are used to replace non-structural ports, and thus enable
all ports in the system to correspond to a structural entity. This has
the advantage of accessing memory through the normal memory subsystem
and thus allowing any constellation of distributed memories, address
maps, etc. Most accesses are done through the "system port" that is
used for loading binaries, debugging etc. For the entities that belong
to the CPU, e.g. threads and thread contexts, they wrap the CPU data
port in a port proxy.
The following replacements are made:
FunctionalPort > PortProxy
TranslatingPort > SETranslatingPortProxy
VirtualPort > FSTranslatingPortProxy

When each load or store is sent to the LSQ, we check whether it will cross a
cache line boundary and, if so, split it in two. This creates two TLB
translations and two memory requests. Care has to be taken if the first
packet of a split load is sent but the second blocks the cache. Similarly,
for a store, if the first packet cannot be sent, we must store the second
one somewhere to retry later.
This modifies the LSQSenderState class to record both packets in a split
load or store.
Finally, a new const variable, HasUnalignedMemAcc, is added to each ISA
to indicate whether unaligned memory accesses are allowed. This is used
throughout the changed code so that compiler can optimise away code dealing
with split requests for ISAs that don't need them.
the primary identifier for a hardware context should be contextId(). The
concept of threads within a CPU remains, in the form of threadId() because
sometimes you need to know which context within a cpu to manipulate.
A whole bunch of stuff has been converted to use the new params stuff, but
the CPU wasn't one of them. While we're at it, make some things a bit
more stylish. Most of the work was done by Gabe, I just cleaned stuff up
a bit more at the end.
src/cpu/o3/alpha/cpu_impl.hh:
Pass ISA-specific O3 CPU to FullO3CPU as a constructor parameter instead of using setCPU functions.

1. Make sure connectMemPorts() only gets called when the CPU's peer gets changed. This is done by making setPeer() virtual, and overriding it in the CPU's ports. When it gets called on a CPU's port (dcache specifically), it calls the normal setPeer() function, and also connectMemPorts().
2. Consolidate redundant code that handles switching in a CPU.
src/cpu/base.cc:
Move common code of switching over peers to base CPU.
src/cpu/base.hh:
Move common code of switching over peers to BaseCPU.
src/cpu/o3/cpu.cc:
Add in function that updates thread context's ports.
Also use updated function to takeOverFrom() in BaseCPU. This gets rid of some repeated code.
src/cpu/o3/cpu.hh:
Include function to update thread context's memory ports.
src/cpu/o3/lsq.hh:
Add function to dcache port that will update the memory ports upon getting a new peer.
Also include a function that will tell the CPU to update those memory ports.
src/cpu/o3/lsq_impl.hh:
Add function that will update the memory ports upon getting a new peer.
src/cpu/simple/atomic.cc:
src/cpu/simple/timing.cc:
Add function that will update thread context's memory ports upon getting a new peer.
Also use the new BaseCPU's take over from function.
src/cpu/simple/atomic.hh:
Add in function (and dcache port) that will allow the dcache to update memory ports when it gets assigned a new peer.
src/cpu/simple/timing.hh:
Add function that will update thread context's memory ports upon getting a new peer.
src/mem/port.hh:
Make setPeer virtual so that other classes can override it.

src/cpu/o3/lsq.hh:
Update to have LSQ work with only one dcache port for all LSQ Units. LSQ has the dcache port, and the LSQ Units must tell the LSQ if the cache has become blocked.
src/cpu/o3/lsq_impl.hh:
Updates to have the LSQ work with only one dcache port for all LSQUnits.
src/cpu/o3/lsq_unit.hh:
src/cpu/o3/lsq_unit_impl.hh:
Update for LSQ to create dcache port instead of LSQUnits. Now LSQUnits are given the dcache port from the LSQ, and also must check the LSQ if the cache is blocked prior to accessing the cache.

First: Rename FullCPU and its variants in the o3 directory to O3CPU to differentiate from the old model, and also to specify it's an out of order model.
Second: Include build options for selecting the Checker to be used. These options make sure if the Checker is being used there is a CPU that supports it also being compiled.
SConstruct:
Add in option USE_CHECKER to allow for not compiling in checker code. The checker is enabled through this option instead of through the CPU_MODELS list. However it's still necessary to treat the Checker like a CPU model, so it is appended onto the CPU_MODELS list if enabled.
configs/test/test.py:
Name change for DetailedCPU to DetailedO3CPU. Also include option for max tick.
src/base/traceflags.py:
Add in O3CPU trace flag.
src/cpu/SConscript:
Rename AlphaFullCPU to AlphaO3CPU.
Only include checker sources if they're necessary. Also add a list of CPUs that support the Checker, and only allow the Checker to be compiled in if one of those CPUs are also being included.
src/cpu/base_dyn_inst.cc:
