The current TLM bridge only provides a Slave Port that allows the gem5
world to send request to the SystemC world. This patch series refractors
and cleans up the existing code, and adds a Master Port that allows the
SystemC world to send requests to the gem5 world.
This patch:
* Add callbacks for the Gem5SimControl that are called at before and
* after simulate()

This patch:
* Implement 'pipe through' for gem5 Packets (see explanation below)
Basically, this patch ensures that all transactions that originated in the
gem5 world are converted back to the original packet when entering the gem5
world. So far, this only worked for packets that are responded to by a
SyctemC component (e.g. when a gem5 CPU sends a request to a SystemC
memory). By implementing the 'pipe through' this patch ensures, that
packets that are responded to by a gem5 component (e.g. when a gem5 CPU
sends a request to a gem5 memory via a SystemC interconnect) are handled
properly.

This patch adds an example configuration for elastic trace playing into the
SystemC world, similar to the already existing traffic generator example in
/util/tlm.

In previous versions of systemC-gem5 coupling statistics were not updated
for the systemc-gem5 simulation. systemC-gem5 simulation only need the
previously built config.ini file and normal gem5 simulation has to be run
once to generate config.ini file. Thus stats.txt inside the m5out folder is
redundant for systemC-gem5 simulation. A new stats file is now generated
with the all the statistics for systemC-gem5 simulation. This will also
resolve the stats issue in tlm-sysmtemC simulation.

memInhibitAsserted() has been removed from packet.hh. This change has been
reflected in TLM based SystemC memory.
This patch also adds a number of panics asserting the SystemC memory only
sees requests it expects.

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.
