This patch moves all port creation from the getPort method to be
consistently done in the MemObject's constructor. This is possible
thanks to the Swig interface passing the length of the vector ports.
Previously there was a mix of: 1) creating the ports as members (at
object construction time) and using getPort for the name resolution,
or 2) dynamically creating the ports in the getPort call. This is now
uniform. Furthermore, objects that would not be complete without a
port have these ports as members rather than having pointers to
dynamically allocated ports.
This patch also enables an elaboration-time enumeration of all the
ports in the system which can be used to determine the masterId.
This patch simplifies the address-range determination mechanism and
also unifies the naming across ports and devices. It further splits
the queries for determining if a port is snooping and what address
ranges it responds to (aiming towards a separation of
cache-maintenance ports and pure memory-mapped ports). Default
behaviours are such that most ports do not have to define isSnooping,
and master ports need not implement getAddrRanges.
Not all objects need a platform pointer, and having one creates a dependence
on their being a platform object. This change removes the platform pointer to
from the base device object and moves it into subclasses that actually need
it.
At the same time, rename the trace flags to debug flags since they
have broader usage than simply tracing. This means that
--trace-flags is now --debug-flags and --trace-help is now --debug-help
Double packet delete problem is due to an interrupt device deleting a packet that the SimpleTimingPort also deletes. Since MessagePort descends from SimpleTimingPort, simply reimplement the failing code from SimpleTimingPort: recvTiming.
This is to help tidy up arch/x86. These files should not be used external to
the ISA.

This is a hack so that the IO APIC can figure out information about the local
APICs. The local APICs still have no way to find out about each other.
Ideally, when the local APICs update state that's relevant to somebody else,
they'd send an update to everyone. Without being able to do a broadcast, that
would still require knowing who else there is to notify. Other broadcasts are
implemented using assumptions that may not always be true.
The ID as exposed to software can be changed. Tracking those changes in M5
would be cumbersome, especially since there's no guarantee the IDs will remain
unique.
