arch, base, cpu, dev, mem, sim: Remove #if 0-ed out code.
This code will be preserved through version control, but otherwise creates clutter and will rot in place since it's never compiled.

cpu: Revamp saturating counters
Revamp the SatCounter class, improving comments, implementing increment, decrement and read operators to solve an old todo, and adding missing error checking.

cpu: Made TAGE a SimObject that can be used by other predictors
The TAGE implementation is now a SimObject so that other branch predictors can easily use it. It has also been updated with the latest available TAGE implementation from Andre Seznec:

These files aren't a collection of miscellaneous stuff, they're the definition of the Logger interface, and a few utility macros for calling into that interface (panic, warn, etc.).

cpu: disallow speculative update of branch predictor tables (o3)
The Minor and o3 cpu models share the branch prediction code. Minor relies on the BPredUnit::squash() function to update the branch predictor tables on a branch mispre- diction. This is fine because Minor executes in-order, so the update is on the correct path. However, this causes the branch predictor to be updated on out-of-order branch mispredictions when using the o3 model, which should not be the case.
This patch guards against speculative update of the branch prediction tables. On a branch misprediction, BPredUnit::squash() calls BpredUnit::update(..., squashed = true). The underlying branch predictor tests against the value of squashed. If it is true, it restores any speculatively updated internal state it might have (e.g., global/local branch history), then returns. If false, it updates its prediction tables. Previously, exist- ing predictors did not test against the "squashed" parameter.
To accomodate for this change, the Minor model must now call BPredUnit::squash() then BPredUnit::update(..., squashed = false) on branch mispredictions. Before, calling BpredUnit::squash() performed the prediction tables update.
The effect is a slight MPKI improvement when using the o3 model. A further patch should perform the same modifications for the indirect target predictor and BTB (less critical).

cpu: Implement per-thread GHRs
Branch predictors that use GHRs should index them on a per-thread basis. This makes that so.
This is a re-spin of fb51231 after the revert (bd1c6789).

branch predictor: move out of o3 and inorder cpus This patch moves the branch predictor files in the o3 and inorder directories to src/cpu/pred. This allows sharing the branch predictor across different cpu models.
This patch was originally posted by Timothy Jones in July 2010 but never made it to the repository.

BP: Fix several Branch Predictor issues. 1. Updates the Branch Predictor correctly to the state just after a mispredicted branch, if a squash occurs. 2. If a BTB does not find an entry, the branch is predicted not taken. The global history is modified to correctly reflect this prediction. 3. Local history is now updated at the fetch stage instead of execute stage. 4. In the Update stage of the branch predictor the local predictors are now correctly updated according to the state of local history during fetch stage.
This patch also improves performance by as much as 17% on some benchmarks
