This change fixes an issue where a DTLB fault occurs and redirects fetch to
handle the fault and the ITLB requires a walk which delays translation. In this
case the status of the cpu isn't updated appropriately, and an additional
instruction fetch occurs. Eventually this hits an assert as multiple instruction
fetches are occuring in the system and when the second one returns the
processor is in the wrong state.
Some asserts below are removed because it was always true (typo) and the state
after the initiateAcc() the processor could be in any valid state when a
d-side fault occurs.
Some ISAs (like ARM) relies on hardware page table walkers. For those ISAs,
when a TLB miss occurs, initiateTranslation() can return with NoFault but with
the translation unfinished.
Instructions experiencing a delayed translation due to a hardware page table
walk are deferred until the translation completes and kept into the IQ. In
order to keep track of them, the IQ has been augmented with a queue of the
outstanding delayed memory instructions. When their translation completes,
instructions are re-executed (only their initiateAccess() was already
executed; their DTB translation is now skipped). The IEW stage has been
modified to support such a 2-pass execution.
Setup initial timesync event in initState or loadState so that curTick has
been updated to the new value, otherwise the event is scheduled in the past.
The TBE pointer in the MESI CMP implementation was not being set to NULL
when the TBE is deallocated. This resulted in segmentation fault on testing
the protocol when the ProtocolTrace was switched on.
JMP_FAR_I was unpacking its far pointer operand using sll instead of srl like
it should, and also putting the components in the wrong registers for use by
other microcode.
During iret access LDT/GDT at CPL0 rather than after transition to user mode
(if I'm reading the Intel IA-64 architecture spec correctly, the contents of
the descriptor table are read before the CPL is updated).
The code for Orion 2.0 makes use of printf() at several places where there as
an error in configuration of the model. These have been replaced with fatal().
This way things that don't care about work count options and/or aren't called
by something that has those command line options set up doesn't have to build
a fake object to carry in inert values.
By stalling and waiting the mandatory queue instead of recycling it, one can
ensure that no incoming messages are starved when the mandatory queue puts
signficant of pressure on the L1 cache controller (i.e. the ruby memtester).

The packet now identifies whether static or dynamic data has been allocated and
is used by Ruby to determine whehter to copy the data pointer into the ruby
request. Subsequently, Ruby can be told not to update phys memory when
receiving packets.
Move page table walker state to its own object type, and make the
walker instantiate state for each outstanding walk. By storing the
states in a queue, the walker is able to handle multiple outstanding
timing requests. Note that functional walks use separate state
elements.
In sendSplitData, keep a pointer to the senderState that may be updated after
the call to handle*Packet. This way, if the receiver updates the packet
senderState, it can still be accessed in sendSplitData.
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.
