misc: Rename misc.(hh|cc) to logging.(hh|cc)

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.).

gpu-compute: add gpu_isa.hh to switch hdrs, add GPUISA to WF

the GPUISA class is meant to encapsulate any ISA-specific behavior - special
register accesses, isa-specific WF/kernel state, etc. - in a generic enough
way so that it may be used in ISA-agnostic code.

gpu-compute: use the GPUISA object to advance the PC

the GPU model treats the PC as a pointer to individual instruction objects -
which are store in a contiguous array - and not a byte address to be fetched
from the real memory system. this is ok for HSAIL because all instructions
are considered by the model to be the same size.

in machine ISA, however, instructions may be 32b or 64b, and branches are
calculated by advancing the PC by the number of words (4 byte chunks) it
needs to advance in the real instruction stream. because of this there is
a mismatch between the PC we use to index into the instruction array, and
the actual byte address PC the ISA expects. here we move the PC advance
calculation to the ISA so that differences in the instrucion sizes may be
accounted for in generic way.

gpu-compute: Added method to compute the actual workgroup size
This patch adds a method to the Wavefront class to compute the actual workgroup
size. This can be different from the maximum workgroup size specified when
launching the kernel through the NDRange object. Current solution is still not
optimal, as we are computing these for each wavefront and the dispatcher also
needs to have this information and can't actually call
Wavefront::computeActuallWgSz before the wavefronts are being created. A long
term solution would be to have a Workgroup class that deals with all these
details.

gpu-compute: Adding context serialization methods to Wavefront
This patch adds methods to serialize the context of a particular wavefront
to the simulated system memory. Context serialization is used when a wavefront
is preempeted (i.e. context switch).

gpu-compute: Refactoring Wavefront::dynWaveId


# 11641:a9f0711e7230 16-Sep-2016 Alexandru Dutu <alexandru.dutu@amd.com>

gpu-compute: Changing reconvergenceStack type
std::stack has no iterators, therefore the reconvergence stack can't be
iterated without poping elements off. We will be using std::list instead to be
able to iterate for saving and restoring purposes.


# 11640:aa846ec8cd8d 16-Sep-2016 Alexandru Dutu <alexandru.dutu@amd.com>

gpu-compute: Adding ioctl for HW context size
Adding runtime support for determining the memory required by a SIMD engine
when executing a particular wavefront.


# 11639:2e8d4bd8108d 16-Sep-2016 Alexandru Dutu <alexandru.dutu@amd.com>

gpu-compute: Wavefront refactoring
Renaming members of the Wavefront class in accordance with the style guide.

gpu-compute: parametrize Wavefront size

Eliminate the VSZ constant that defined the Wavefront size (in numbers of work
items); replaced it with a parameter in the GPU.py configuration script.
Changed all data structures dependent on the Wavefront size to be dynamically
sized. Legal values of Wavefront size are 16, 32, 64 for now and checked at
initialization time.
