This patch adds an additional level of ports in the inheritance
hierarchy, separating out the protocol-specific and protocl-agnostic
parts. All the functionality related to the binding of ports is now
confined to use BaseMaster/BaseSlavePorts, and all the
protocol-specific parts stay in the Master/SlavePort. In the future it
will be possible to add other protocol-specific implementations.
The functions used in the binding of ports, i.e. getMaster/SlavePort
now use the base classes, and the index parameter is updated to use
the PortID typedef with the symbolic InvalidPortID as the default.
This patch transitions the bus to use the AddrRange operations instead
of directly accessing the start and end. The change facilitates the
move to a more elaborate AddrRange class that also supports address
striping in the bus by specifying interleaving bits in the ranges.
Two new functions are added to the AddrRange to determine if two
ranges intersect, and if one is a subset of another. The bus
propagation of address ranges is also tweaked such that an update is
only propagated if the bus received information from all the
downstream slave modules. This avoids the iteration and need for the
cycle-breaking scheme that was previously used.
