mem: Make PortProxy use a delegate for a sendFunctional function.
The only part of the MaserPort the PortProxy uses is the sendFunctional function which is part of the functional protocol. Rather than require a MasterPort which comes along with a lot of other mechanisms, this change slightly adjusts the PortProxy to only require that function through the use of a delegate. That allows lots of flexibility in how the actual packet gets sent and what sends it.
In cases where code constructs a PortProxy and passes its constructor an unbound MasterPort, the PortProxy will create a delegate to the sendFunctional method on its own.
This should also make it easier for objects which don't have traditional gem5 style ports, for instance systemc models, to implement just the little bit of the protocol they need, rather than having to stub out a whole port class, most of which will be ignored.

mem, arm: Replace the pointer type in PortProxy with void *.
The void * type is for pointers which point to an unknown type. We should use that when handling anonymous buffers in the PortProxy functions, instead of uint8_t * which points to bytes.
Importantly, C/C++ doesn't require you to do any casting to turn an arbitrary pointer type into a void *. This will get rid of lots of tedious, verbose casting throughout the code base.

mem, arm: Move some helper methods into the base PortProxy class.
These were originally in the SETranslatingPortProxy class, but they're not specific to SE mode in any way and are an unnecessary divergence between the SE and FS mode translating port proxies.

mem: Refactor port proxies to support secure accesses
The current physical port proxy doesn't know how to tag memory accesses as secure. Refactor the class slightly to create a set of methods (readBlobPhys, writeBlobPhys, memsetBlobPhys) that always access physical memory and take a set of Request::Flags as an argument. The new port proxy, SecurePortProxy, uses this interface to issue secure physical accesses.

arch, mem, sim: Consolidate and rename the SE mode page table classes.
Now that Nothing inherits from PageTableBase directly, it can be merged into FuncPageTable. This change also takes the opportunity to rename the combined class to EmulationPageTable which lets you know that it's specifically for SE mode.
Also remove the page table entry cache since it doesn't seem to actually improve performance. The TLBs likely absorb the majority of the locality, essentially acting like a cache like they would in real hardware.

syscall_emul: [PATCH 15/22] add clone/execve for threading and multiprocess simulations
Modifies the clone system call and adds execve system call. Requires allowing processes to steal thread contexts from other processes in the same system object and the ability to detach pieces of process state (such as MemState) to allow dynamic sharing.

mem: Use const pointers for port proxy write functions
This patch changes the various write functions in the port proxies to use const pointers for all sources (similar to how memcpy works).
The one unfortunate aspect is the need for a const_cast in the packet, to avoid having to juggle a const and a non-const data pointer. This design decision can always be re-evaluated at a later stage.

mem: adding a multi-level page table class This patch defines a multi-level page table class that stores the page table in system memory, consistent with ISA specifications. In this way, cpu models that use the actual hardware to execute (e.g. KvmCPU), are able to traverse the page table.

MEM: Introduce the master/slave port sub-classes in C++
This patch introduces the notion of a master and slave port in the C++ code, thus bringing the previous classification from the Python classes into the corresponding simulation objects and memory objects.
The patch enables us to classify behaviours into the two bins and add assumptions and enfore compliance, also simplifying the two interfaces. As a starting point, isSnooping is confined to a master port, and getAddrRanges to slave ports. More of these specilisations are to come in later patches.
The getPort function is not getMasterPort and getSlavePort, and returns a port reference rather than a pointer as NULL would never be a valid return value. The default implementation of these two functions is placed in MemObject, and calls fatal.
The one drawback with this specific patch is that it requires some code duplication, e.g. QueuedPort becomes QueuedMasterPort and QueuedSlavePort, and BusPort becomes BusMasterPort and BusSlavePort (avoiding multiple inheritance). With the later introduction of the port interfaces, moving the functionality outside the port itself, a lot of the duplicated code will disappear again.

MEM: Make all the port proxy members const
This is a trivial patch that merely makes all the member functions of the port proxies const. There is no good reason why they should not be, and this change only serves to make it explicit that they are not modified through their use.

MEM: Make port proxies use references rather than pointers
This patch is adding a clearer design intent to all objects that would not be complete without a port proxy by making the proxies members rathen than dynamically allocated. In essence, if NULL would not be a valid value for the proxy, then we avoid using a pointer to make this clear.
The same approach is used for the methods using these proxies, such as loadSections, that now use references rather than pointers to better reflect the fact that NULL would not be an acceptable value (in fact the code would break and that is how this patch started out).
Overall the concept of "using a reference to express unconditional composition where a NULL pointer is never valid" could be done on a much broader scale throughout the code base, but for now it is only done in the locations affected by the proxies.

MEM: Add port proxies instead of non-structural ports
Port proxies are used to replace non-structural ports, and thus enable all ports in the system to correspond to a structural entity. This has the advantage of accessing memory through the normal memory subsystem and thus allowing any constellation of distributed memories, address maps, etc. Most accesses are done through the "system port" that is used for loading binaries, debugging etc. For the entities that belong to the CPU, e.g. threads and thread contexts, they wrap the CPU data port in a port proxy.
The following replacements are made: FunctionalPort > PortProxy TranslatingPort > SETranslatingPortProxy VirtualPort > FSTranslatingPortProxy
