3a0102536b Get rid of the code that delays PIO write accesses
until the cache access occurs.  The fundamental problem
is that a subsequent read that occurs functionally will
get a functionally incorrect result that can break
driver code.

47ff0af17e Virtualize sinic
separate the rx thread and tx thread and get rid of the dedicated flag.

dev/ns_gige.cc:
dev/ns_gige.hh:
dev/ns_gige_reg.h:
python/m5/objects/Ethernet.py:
    dedicated flag goes away, we have new individual flags for
    rx thread and tx thread
dev/sinic.cc:
    Virtualize sinic
    - The io registers are replicated many times in memory, allowing the NIC to
    differentiate among several virtual interfaces.
    - On the TX side, this allows multiple CPUs to initiate transmits at the same
    time without locking in the software.  If a partial packet is transmitted,
    then the state machine blocks waiting for that virtual interface to complete
    its packet.  Then the state machine will move on to the next virtual
    interface.  The commands are kept in fifo order.
    - On the RX side, multiple partial transmits can be simultaneously done.
    Though a packet does not deallocate its fifo space until all preceeding
    packets in the fifo are deallocated.  To enable multiple receives, it
    is necessary for each virtual nic to keep its own information about its
    progress through the state machine.
dev/sinic.hh:
    Virtualize sinic
    Receive state must be virtualized since we allow the receipt of packets in
    parallel.
dev/sinicreg.hh:
    Virtualize sinic
    separate rx thread and tx thread
    create a soft interrupt and add a command to trigger it.
    pad out the reserved bits in the RxDone and TxDone regs

dev/ns_gige.cc:
    add support for delaying pio writes until the cache access occurs
    the only write we delay are for CR_TXE and CR_RXE
dev/sinic.cc:
dev/sinic.hh:
    the txPioRequest and rxPioRequest things were more or less bogus
    add support for delaying pio writes until the cache access occurs
dev/sinicreg.hh:
    Add delay_read and delay_write to the register information struct
    for now, we won't delay any reads, and we'll delay the writes that
    initiate DMAs
python/m5/objects/Ethernet.py:
    add a parameter to delay pio writes until the timing access
    actually occurs.

b7b8ffa7b7 Major changes to sinic device model. Rearrage read/write, better
interrupts.

dev/sinic.cc:
    - The prepareRead function sets all the variables in the register
    file that depend on various state bits that change on the fly.
    Includes RxDone, RxWait, TxDone, and TxWait
    - Use the new register information accessor functions to grab
    validity and size information for the read and write functions
    - read all registers directly from the register space by offset
    and size, not by actual name (less code)
    - The side effect of reading the interrupt status (clearing it) now
    happens outside the actual chunk of code where the value is loaded.
    - Add an iprRead function for when we may want speculative access
    to device registers through an ipr or special instruction.
    - When RxData or TxData are written, their busy flag is set to
    indicate that they have an outstanding transaction.
    - The RxHigh and TxLow interrupts are special, they only interrupt
    if the rxEmpty or txFull limits were hit
    - Move reset to the command register
    - Update more registers on reset, clear rxEmpty and txFull
    - Data dumps only happen if EthernetData trace flag set
    - When a DMA completes, kick the other engine if it was waiting
    - implement all of the new interrupts
    - serialize the new stuff
dev/sinic.hh:
    - Put all registers with their proper size and alignment into
    the regs struct so that we can copy multiple at a time.
    - Provide accessor functions for accessing the registers with
    different sizes.
    - Flags to track when the rx fifo hit empty and the tx fifo became
    full.  These flags are used to determine what to do when below
    the watermarks, and are reset when crossing the watermark.
    - the txDmaEvent should actually trigger the txDmaDone function
    - Add an iprRead function for when we may want speculative access
    to device registers through an ipr or special instruction.
    - The prepareRead function sets all the variables in the register
    file that depend on various state bits that change on the fly.
    - add rx_max_intr and dedicated (for dedicated thread) config params
dev/sinicreg.hh:
    Add some new registers: Command, RxMaxIntr, RxFifoSize, TxFifoSize,
    rename XxThreshold to XxFifoMark
    Move Reset to the Command register
    Add Thread to the Config register
    New interrupts, better names
    More info in RxDone and TxDone
    Easier access to information on each register (size, read, write, name)
python/m5/objects/Ethernet.py:
    Both sinic and nsgige have the dedicated thread
    Add a parameter to configure the maximum number for receive
    packets per interrupt

c4029ecb30 Implement a state machine clock that acutally limits how fast
the nsgige state machine can run. The frequency is of the actual
state transitions, and not the rate of what underlying
instructions might run at.

dev/ns_gige.cc:
    Implement a state machine clock that acutally limits how fast
    the state machine can run.  After each state transition, a
    variable is kept to hold the next state transition until the
    next clock.  The frequency is of the actual state transitions,
    and not the rate of what underlying instructions might run at.
dev/ns_gige.hh:
    Add back the rxKickEvent and txKickEvent events.
python/m5/objects/Ethernet.py:
    Default the state machine clock to '0ns' so the default
    behaviour doesn't change when we actually implement the
    state machine clock.

    Minor tweaks on Frequency/Latency:
    - added new Clock param type to avoid ambiguities
    - factored out init code into getLatency()
    - made RootFrequency *not* a subclass of Frequency so it
    can't be directly assigned to a Frequency paremeter

aad02f8088 Major cleanup of python config code.
Special mpy importer is gone; everything is just plain
Python now (funky, but straight-up).
May not completely work yet... generates identical ini
files for many configs/kernel settings, but I have yet
to run it against regressions.  This commit is for my
own convenience and won't be pushed until more testing
is done.

python/m5/__init__.py:
    Get rid of mpy_importer and param_types.
python/m5/config.py:
    Major cleanup.  We now have separate classes and
    instances for SimObjects.  Proxy handling and param
    conversion significantly reorganized.  No explicit
    instantiation step anymore; we can dump an ini file
    straight from the original tree.
    Still needs more/better/truer comments.
test/genini.py:
    Replace LoadMpyFile() with built-in execfile().
    Export __main__.m5_build_env.
