Disable the default snoop filter in the SystemXBar so that the
typical membus does not have a snoop filter by default. Instead,
add the snoop filter only when there are caches added to the system
(with the caches / l2cache options).
The underlying problem is that the snoop filter grows without
bounds (for now) if there are no caches to tell it that lines have
been evicted. This causes slow regression runs for all the atomic
regressions. This patch fixes this behaviour.

After reaching consensus on the mailing list, this patch officially
makes gcc 4.8 the minimum.
A few checks in the SConstruct are cleaned up as a result. This patch
also adds "-fno-omit-frame-pointer" when using ASAN (which is part of
the gcc/clang recommended flags).
We currently check the current state instead of the state of the
target EL when determining how we report a fault. This breaks
interprocessing since EL0 in aarch32 would report its fault status
using the aarch32 registers even if EL1 is in aarch64. Fix this to
report the fault using the format of the target EL.

This patch fixes a memory leak where deferred snoop packets never got
deallocated. On the call to MSHR::handleSnoop these snoops were
treated as if a response will be sent, as the MSHR was
pendingModified. Consequently, a copy of the packet was created and
added to the MSHR targets. However, an preceeding target to the same
MSHR, originally from a CPU, was serviced before the snoop, and caused
the block to be invalidated. This happens for ReadExReq and
UpgradeReq.
Note that the original snoop will receive a response, just not from
the cache in question, but instead from the cache upstream that issued
the ReadExReq or UpgradeReq.

Implement gem5's test infrastructure as a Python module and a run
script that can be used without scons. The new implementation has
several features that were lacking from the previous test
infrastructure such as support for multiple output formats, automatic
runtime tracking, and better support for being run in a cluster
environment.
Tests consist of one or more steps (TestUnit). Units are run in two
stages, the first a run stage and then a verify stage. Units in the
verify stage are automatically skipped if any unit run stage wasn't
run. The library currently contains TestUnit implementations that run
gem5, diff stat files, and diff output files.
Existing tests are implemented by the ClassicTest class and "just
work". New tests can that don't rely on the old "run gem5 once and
diff output" strategy can be implemented by subclassing the Test base
class or ClassicTest.
Test results can be output in multiple formats. The module currently
supports JUnit, text (short and verbose), and Python's pickle
format. JUnit output allows CI systems to automatically get more
information about test failures. The pickled output contains all state
necessary to reconstruct a tests results object and is mainly intended
for the build system and CI systems.
Since many JUnit parsers parsers assume that test suite names look
like Java package names. We currently output path-like names with
slashes separating components. Test names are translated according to
these rules:
* '.' -> '-"
* '/' -> '.'
The test tool, tests.py, supports the following features:
* Test listing. Example: ./tests.py list arm/quick
* Running tests. Example:
./tests.py run -o output.pickle --format pickle \
../build/ARM/gem5.opt \
quick/se/00.hello/arm/linux/simple-timing
* Displaying pickled results. Example:
./tests.py show --format summary *.pickle

The LinuxArmSystem class normally provides support for panicing gem5
if the simulated kernel panics. When this is turned off (default),
gem5 uses a BreakPCEvent to provide a debugger hook into the simulator
when the kernel crashes. This hook unconditionally kills gem5 with a
SIGTRAP unless gem5 is compiled in fast mode. This is undesirable
since the panic_on_panic param already provides similar functionality.

This patch removes the write-queue entry tracking previously used for

as the packet is sent. As a result we also forego the stats for
uncacheable writes. Additionally, there is no longer a need to attach
