This was somewhat tricky because the RefCnt API was somewhat odd. The
biggest confusion was that the the RefCnt object's constructor that
took a TYPE& cloned the object. I created an explicit virtual clone()
function for things that took advantage of this version of the
constructor. I was conservative and used clone() when I was in doubt
of whether or not it was necessary. I still think that there are
probably too many instances of clone(), but hopefully not too many.
I converted several instances of const MsgPtr & to a simple MsgPtr.
If the function wants to avoid the overhead of creating another
reference, then it should just use a regular pointer instead of a ref
counting ptr.
There were a couple of instances where refcounted objects were created
on the stack. This seems pretty dangerous since if you ever
accidentally make a reference to that object with a ref counting
pointer, bad things are bound to happen.
Previously the return value ignored missing/added stats,
making the regressions not tell you when you needed to
update the reference stats because of these changes.
Also stop filtering distributions when reporting these;
not sure why we did that in the first place.
Also get rid of obsolete hacks for the "fetch-loss" stats
that have been gone for a long time.
Expand the help text on the --remote-gdb-port option so
people know you can use it to disable remote gdb without
reading the source code, and thus don't waste any time
trying to add a separate option to do that.
Clean up some gdb-related cruft I found while looking
for where one would add a gdb disable option, before
I found the comment that told me that I didn't need
to do that.
break it up into reading one page at a time. Also, avoid redoing a aggregating a checkpoint that's
already done.

rename : util/checkpoint-aggregator.py => util/checkpoint_aggregator.py
Spec2k benchmarks seem to run with atomic or timing mode simple
CPUs. Fixed up some constants, handling of 64 bit arguments,
and marked a few more syscalls ignoreFunc.
This will help keep the high level decode together and not have it spread into
the subordinate decode stuff. The ##include lines still need to be on a line
by themselves, though.
