arch: Add support for m5ops using mmapped IPRs
In order to support m5ops on virtualized CPUs, we need to either intercept hypercall instructions or provide a memory mapped m5ops interface. Since KVM does not normally pass the results of hypercalls to userspace, which makes that method unfeasible. This changeset introduces support for m5ops using memory mapped mmapped IPRs. This is implemented by adding a class of "generic" IPRs which are handled by architecture-independent code. Such IPRs always have bit 63 set and are handled by handleGenericIprRead() and handleGenericIprWrite(). Platform specific impementations of handleIprRead and handleIprWrite should use GenericISA::isGenericIprAccess to determine if an IPR address should be handled by the generic code instead of the architecture-specific code. Platforms that don't need their own IPR support can reuse GenericISA::handleIprRead() and GenericISA::handleIprWrite().

Clock: Add a Cycles wrapper class and use where applicable
This patch addresses the comments and feedback on the preceding patch that reworks the clocks and now more clearly shows where cycles (relative cycle counts) are used to express time.
Instead of bumping the existing patch I chose to make this a separate patch, merely to try and focus the discussion around a smaller set of changes. The two patches will be pushed together though.
This changes done as part of this patch are mostly following directly from the introduction of the wrapper class, and change enough code to make things compile and run again. There are definitely more places where int/uint/Tick is still used to represent cycles, and it will take some time to chase them all down. Similarly, a lot of parameters should be changed from Param.Tick and Param.Unsigned to Param.Cycles.
In addition, the use of curTick is questionable as there should not be an absolute cycle. Potential solutions can be built on top of this patch. There is a similar situation in the o3 CPU where lastRunningCycle is currently counting in Cycles, and is still an absolute time. More discussion to be had in other words.
An additional change that would be appropriate in the future is to perform a similar wrapping of Tick and probably also introduce a Ticks class along with suitable operators for all these classes.

Clock: Rework clocks to avoid tick-to-cycle transformations
This patch introduces the notion of a clock update function that aims to avoid costly divisions when turning the current tick into a cycle. Each clocked object advances a private (hidden) cycle member and a tick member and uses these to implement functions for getting the tick of the next cycle, or the tick of a cycle some time in the future.
In the different modules using the clocks, changes are made to avoid counting in ticks only to later translate to cycles. There are a few oddities in how the O3 and inorder CPU count idle cycles, as seen by a few locations where a cycle is subtracted in the calculation. This is done such that the regression does not change any stats, but should be revisited in a future patch.
Another, much needed, change that is not done as part of this patch is to introduce a new typedef uint64_t Cycle to be able to at least hint at the unit of the variables counting Ticks vs Cycles. This will be done as a follow-up patch.
As an additional follow up, the thread context still uses ticks for the book keeping of last activate and last suspend and this should probably also be changed into cycles as well.

gcc: Clean-up of non-C++0x compliant code, first steps
This patch cleans up a number of minor issues aiming to get closer to compliance with the C++0x standard as interpreted by gcc and clang (compile with std=c++0x and -pedantic-errors). In particular, the patch cleans up enums where the last item was succeded by a comma, namespaces closed by a curcly brace followed by a semi-colon, and the use of the GNU-extension typeof (replaced by templated functions). It does not address variable-length arrays, zero-size arrays, anonymous structs, range expressions in switch statements, and the use of long long. The generated CPU code also has a large number of issues that remain to be fixed, mainly related to overflows in implicit constant conversion (due to shifts).

Spelling: Fix the a spelling error by changing mmaped to mmapped.
There may not be a formally correct spelling for the past tense of mmap, but mmapped is the spelling Google doesn't try to autocorrect. This makes sense because it mirrors the past tense of map->mapped and not the past tense of cape->caped.
