7a6ed1b10b Power: Get rid of unused checkFpEnableFault.
This function was brought in from another ISA and doesn't actually do anything
or get used.

f064aa3060 sim: revamp unserialization procedure
Replace direct call to unserialize() on each SimObject with a pair of
calls for better control over initialization in both ckpt and non-ckpt
cases.

If restoring from a checkpoint, loadState(ckpt) is called on each
SimObject.  The default implementation simply calls unserialize() if
there is a corresponding checkpoint section, so we get backward
compatibility for existing objects.  However, objects can override
loadState() to get other behaviors, e.g., doing other programmed
initializations after unserialize(), or complaining if no checkpoint
section is found.  (Note that the default warning for a missing
checkpoint section is now gone.)

If not restoring from a checkpoint, we call the new initState() method
on each SimObject instead.  This provides a hook for state
initializations that are only required when *not* restoring from a
checkpoint.

Given this new framework, do some cleanup of LiveProcess subclasses
and X86System, which were (in some cases) emulating initState()
behavior in startup via a local flag or (in other cases) erroneously
doing initializations in startup() that clobbered state loaded earlier
by unserialize().

4d77ea7a57 cpu: fix exec tracing memory corruption bug
Accessing traceData (to call setAddress() and/or setData())
after initiating a timing translation was causing crashes,
since a failed translation could delete the traceData
object before returning.

It turns out that there was never a need to access traceData
after initiating the translation, as the traced data was
always available earlier; this ordering was merely
historical.  Furthermore, traceData->setAddress() and
traceData->setData() were being called both from the CPU
model and the ISA definition, often redundantly.

This patch standardizes all setAddress and setData calls
for memory instructions to be in the CPU models and not
in the ISA definition.  It also moves those calls above
the translation calls to eliminate the crashes.

29e8bcead5 O3PCU: Split loads and stores that cross cache line boundaries.
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.

3f722b991f Syscalls: Make system calls access arguments like a stack, not an array.
When accessing arguments for a syscall, the position of an argument depends on
the policies of the ISA, how much space preceding arguments took up, and the
"alignment" of the index for this particular argument into the number of
possible storate locations. This change adjusts getSyscallArg to take its
index parameter by reference instead of value and to adjust it to point to the
possible location of the next argument on the stack, basically just after the
current one. This way, the rules for the new argument can be applied locally
without knowing about other arguments since those have already been taken into
account implicitly.

All system calls have also been changed to reflect the new interface. In a
number of cases this made the implementation clearer since it encourages
arguments to be collected in one place in order and then used as necessary
later, as opposed to scattering them throughout the function or using them in
place in long expressions. It also discourages using getSyscallArg over and
over to retrieve the same value when a temporary would do the job.

835a55e7f3 POWER: Add support for the Power ISA
This adds support for the 32-bit, big endian Power ISA. This supports both
integer and floating point instructions based on the Power ISA Book I v2.06.
