Andreas Hansson 56b7796e0d mem: Fix address interleaving bug in DRAM controller
This patch fixes a bug in the DRAM controller address decoding. In
cases where the DRAM burst size (e.g. 32 bytes in a rank with a single
LPDDR3 x32) was smaller than the channel interleaving size
(e.g. systems with a 64-byte cache line) one address bit effectively
got used as a channel bit when it should have been a low-order column
bit.

This patch adds a notion of "columns per stripe", and more clearly
deals with the low-order column bits and high-order column bits. The
patch also relaxes the granularity check such that it is possible to
use interleaving granularities other than the cache line size.

The patch also adds a missing M5_CLASS_VAR_USED to the tCK member as
it is only used in the debug build for now.

This is the gem5 simulator.

The main website can be found at http://www.gem5.org

A good starting point is http://www.gem5.org/Introduction, and for
more information about building the simulator and getting started
please see http://www.gem5.org/Documentation and
http://www.gem5.org/Tutorials.

To build gem5, you will need the following software: g++ or clang,
Python (gem5 links in the Python interpreter), SCons, SWIG, zlib, m4,
and lastly protobuf if you want trace capture and playback
support. Please see http://www.gem5.org/Dependencies for more details
concerning the minimum versions of the aforementioned tools.

Once you have all dependencies resolved, type 'scons
build/<ARCH>/gem5.opt' where ARCH is one of ALPHA, ARM, NULL, MIPS,
POWER, SPARC, or X86. This will build an optimized version of the gem5
binary (gem5.opt) for the the specified architecture. See
http://www.gem5.org/Build_System for more details and options.

With the simulator built, have a look at
http://www.gem5.org/Running_gem5 for more information on how to use
gem5.

The basic source release includes these subdirectories:
   - configs: example simulation configuration scripts
   - ext: less-common external packages needed to build gem5
   - src: source code of the gem5 simulator
   - system: source for some optional system software for simulated systems
   - tests: regression tests
   - util: useful utility programs and files

To run full-system simulations, you will need compiled system firmware
(console and PALcode for Alpha), kernel binaries and one or more disk
images. Please see the gem5 download page for these items at
http://www.gem5.org/Download

If you have questions, please send mail to gem5-users@gem5.org

Enjoy using gem5 and please share your modifications and extensions.
