The current TLM bridge only provides a Slave Port that allows the gem5
world to send request to the SystemC world. This patch series refractors
and cleans up the existing code, and adds a Master Port that allows the
SystemC world to send requests to the gem5 world.
This patch:
* Simplify the Slave Port by using a simple_initiator_socket.
Testing Done: Example applications are still running.

This patch:
* Add the Master Port. Add an example application that isslustrates its
* use.
Testing Done: A simple example application consisting of a TLM traffic
generator and a gem5 memory is part of the patch.

This patch:
* Restructure the existing sources in preparation of the addition of the

Master Port.
* Refractor names to allow for distinction of the slave and master port.
* Replace the Makefile by a SConstruct.
Testing Done: The examples provided in util/tlm (now
util/tlm/examples/slave_port) still compile and run error free.

This patch adds an example configuration for elastic trace playing into the
SystemC world, similar to the already existing traffic generator example in
/util/tlm.

In previous versions of systemC-gem5 coupling statistics were not updated
for the systemc-gem5 simulation. systemC-gem5 simulation only need the
previously built config.ini file and normal gem5 simulation has to be run
once to generate config.ini file. Thus stats.txt inside the m5out folder is
redundant for systemC-gem5 simulation. A new stats file is now generated
with the all the statistics for systemC-gem5 simulation. This will also
resolve the stats issue in tlm-sysmtemC simulation.

memInhibitAsserted() has been removed from packet.hh. This change has been
reflected in TLM based SystemC memory.
This patch also adds a number of panics asserting the SystemC memory only
sees requests it expects.

The DTRACE() macro tests both Trace::enabled and the specific flag. This
change uses the same administrative interface for enabling/disabling
tracing, but masks the SimpleFlags settings directly. This eliminates a
load for every DTRACE() test, e.g. DPRINTF.
The CleanEvict command was not considered in /util/tlm/sc_port.cc this could
lead to a simulator crash. This issue is solved by ignoring this special
command type.

Transaction Level Modeling (TLM2.0) is widely used in industry for creating
virtual platforms (IEEE 1666 SystemC). This patch contains a standard compliant
implementation of an external gem5 port, that enables the usage of gem5 as a
TLM initiator component in SystemC based virtual platforms. Both TLM coding
paradigms loosely timed (b_transport) and aproximately timed (nb_transport) are
supported.
Compared to the original patch a TLM memory manager was added. Furthermore, the
transaction object was removed and for each TLM payload a PacketPointer that
points to the original gem5 packet is added as an TLM extension. For event
handling single events are now created.
