7f14ea0c00 Config: Fix a typo in the se.py script for setting fastmem
This patch changes a hardcoded index 0 to the appropriate CPU index so
that fastmem is set correctly for all the CPUs in the system.

7aa57ac882 SE Config: Changed se.py to support multithreaded mode
Multithreaded programs did not run by just specifying the binary once on the
command line of SE mode.The default mode is multi-programmed mode. Added
check in SE mode to run multi-threaded programs in case only one program is
specified with multiple CPUS. Default mode is still multi-programmed mode.

b5b9d2ad3e Config: Add command line options for disk image and memory size
Added the options to Options.py for FS mode with backward compatibility. It is
good to provide an option to specify the disk image and the memory size from
command line since a lot of disk images are created to support different
benchmark suites as well as per user needs. Change in program also leads to
change in memory requirements. These options provide the interface to provide
both disk image and memory size from the command line and gives more
flexibility.

b00949d88b MEM: Enable multiple distributed generalized memories
This patch removes the assumption on having on single instance of
PhysicalMemory, and enables a distributed memory where the individual
memories in the system are each responsible for a single contiguous
address range.

All memories inherit from an AbstractMemory that encompasses the basic
behaviuor of a random access memory, and provides untimed access
methods. What was previously called PhysicalMemory is now
SimpleMemory, and a subclass of AbstractMemory. All future types of
memory controllers should inherit from AbstractMemory.

To enable e.g. the atomic CPU and RubyPort to access the now
distributed memory, the system has a wrapper class, called
PhysicalMemory that is aware of all the memories in the system and
their associated address ranges. This class thus acts as an
infinitely-fast bus and performs address decoding for these "shortcut"
accesses. Each memory can specify that it should not be part of the
global address map (used e.g. by the functional memories by some
testers). Moreover, each memory can be configured to be reported to
the OS configuration table, useful for populating ATAG structures, and
any potential ACPI tables.

Checkpointing support currently assumes that all memories have the
same size and organisation when creating and resuming from the
checkpoint. A future patch will enable a more flexible
re-organisation.

4f4a710457 Config: corrects the way Ruby attaches to the DMA ports
With recent changes to the memory system, a port cannot be assigned a peer
port twice. While making use of the Ruby memory system in FS mode, DMA
ports were assigned peer twice, once for the classic memory system
and once for the Ruby memory system. This patch removes this double
assignment of peer ports.

a8e6adb0b1 Atomic: Remove the physmem_port and access memory directly
This patch removes the physmem_port from the Atomic CPU and instead
uses the system pointer to access the physmem when using the fastmem
option. The system already keeps track of the physmem and the valid
memory address ranges, and with this patch we merely make use of that
existing functionality. As a result of this change, the overloaded
getMasterPort in the Atomic CPU can be removed, thus unifying the CPUs.

a128ba7cd1 Ruby: Remove the physMemPort and instead access memory directly
This patch removes the physMemPort from the RubySequencer and instead
uses the system pointer to access the physmem. The system already
keeps track of the physmem and the valid memory address ranges, and
with this patch we merely make use of that existing functionality. The
memory is modified so that it is possible to call the access functions
(atomic and functional) without going through the port, and the memory
is allowed to be unconnected, i.e. have no ports (since Ruby does not
attach it like the conventional memory system).

5a9a743cfc MEM: Introduce the master/slave port roles in the Python classes
This patch classifies all ports in Python as either Master or Slave
and enforces a binding of master to slave. Conceptually, a master (such
as a CPU or DMA port) issues requests, and receives responses, and
conversely, a slave (such as a memory or a PIO device) receives
requests and sends back responses. Currently there is no
differentiation between coherent and non-coherent masters and slaves.

The classification as master/slave also involves splitting the dual
role port of the bus into a master and slave port and updating all the
system assembly scripts to use the appropriate port. Similarly, the
interrupt devices have to have their int_port split into a master and
slave port. The intdev and its children have minimal changes to
facilitate the extra port.

Note that this patch does not enforce any port typing in the C++
world, it merely ensures that the Python objects have a notion of the
port roles and are connected in an appropriate manner. This check is
carried when two ports are connected, e.g. bus.master =
memory.port. The following patches will make use of the
classifications and specialise the C++ ports into masters and slaves.

63563c9df2 O3, Ruby: Forward invalidations from Ruby to O3 CPU
This patch implements the functionality for forwarding invalidations and
replacements from the L1 cache of the Ruby memory system to the O3 CPU. The
implementation adds a list of ports to RubyPort. Whenever a replacement or an
invalidation is performed, the L1 cache forwards this to all the ports, which
is the LSQ in case of the O3 CPU.

55cf3f4ac1 MEM: Removing the default port peer from Python ports
In preparation for the introduction of Master and Slave ports, this
patch removes the default port parameter in the Python port and thus
forces the argument list of the Port to contain only the
description. The drawback at this point is that the config port and
dma port of PCI and DMA devices have to be connected explicitly. This
is key for future diversification as the pio and config port are
slaves, but the dma port is a master.

2208ea049f MEM: Make the bus bridge unidirectional and fixed address range
This patch makes the bus bridge uni-directional and specialises the
bus ports to be a master port and a slave port. This greatly
simplifies the assumptions on both sides as either port only has to
deal with requests or responses. The following patches introduce the
notion of master and slave ports, and would not be possible without
this split of responsibilities.

In making the bridge unidirectional, the address range mechanism of
the bridge is also changed. For the cases where communication is
taking place both ways, an additional bridge is needed. This causes
issues with the existing mechanism, as the busses cannot determine
when to stop iterating the address updates from the two bridges. To
avoid this issue, and also greatly simplify the specification, the
bridge now has a fixed set of address ranges, specified at creation
time.

f85286b3de MEM: Add port proxies instead of non-structural ports
Port proxies are used to replace non-structural ports, and thus enable
all ports in the system to correspond to a structural entity. This has
the advantage of accessing memory through the normal memory subsystem
and thus allowing any constellation of distributed memories, address
maps, etc. Most accesses are done through the "system port" that is
used for loading binaries, debugging etc. For the entities that belong
to the CPU, e.g. threads and thread contexts, they wrap the CPU data
port in a port proxy.

The following replacements are made:
FunctionalPort      > PortProxy
TranslatingPort     > SETranslatingPortProxy
VirtualPort         > FSTranslatingPortProxy
