mem: Update DRAM configuration names
Names of DRAM configurations were updated to reflect both the channel and device data width.
Previous naming format was: <DEVICE_TYPE>_<DATA_RATE>_<CHANNEL_WIDTH>
The following nomenclature is now used: <DEVICE_TYPE>_<DATA_RATE>_<n>x<w> where n = The number of devices per rank on the channel x = Device width
Total channel width can be calculated by n*w
Example: A 64-bit DDR4, 2400 channel consisting of 4-bit devices: n = 16 w = 4 The resulting configuration name is: DDR4_2400_16x4
Updated scripts to match new naming convention.
Added unique configurations for DDR4 for: 1) 16x4 2) 8x8 3) 4x16

config: Move the memory instantiation outside FSConfig
This patch moves the instantiation of the memory controller outside FSConfig and instead relies on the mem_ranges to pass the information to the caller (e.g. fs.py or one of the regression scripts). The main motivation for this change is to expose the structural composition of the memory system and allow more tuning and configuration without adding a large number of options to the makeSystem functions.
The patch updates the relevant example scripts to maintain the current functionality. As the order that ports are connected to the memory bus changes (in certain regresisons), some bus stats are shuffled around. For example, what used to be layer 0 is now layer 1.
Going forward, options will be added to support the addition of multi-channel memory controllers.

tests: Create base classes to encapsulate common test configurations
Most of the test cases currently contain a large amount of duplicated boiler plate code. This changeset introduces a set of classes that encapsulates most of the functionality when setting up a test configuration.
The following base classes are introduced: * BaseSystem - Basic system configuration that can be used for both SE and FS simulation.
* BaseFSSystem - Basic FS configuration uni-processor and multi-processor configurations.
* BaseFSSystemUniprocessor - Basic FS configuration for uni-processor configurations. This is provided as a way to make existing test cases backwards compatible.
Architecture specific implementations are provided for ARM, Alpha, and X86.

config: Fix the cache class naming in regression scripts
This patch unifies the naming of the default L1 and L2 caches in the regression configs to be in line with what is used in the se and fs scripts.

config: Use shared cache config for regressions
This patch uses the common L1, L2 and IOCache configuration for the regressions that all share the same cache parameters. There are a few regressions that use a slightly different configuration (memtest, o3-timing=mp, simple-atomic-mp and simple-timing-mp), and the latter are not changed in this patch. They will be updated in a future patch.
The common cache configurations are changed to match the ones used in the regressions, and are slightly changed with respect to what they were. Hopefully this means we can converge on a common base configuration, used both in the normal user configurations and regressions.
As only regressions that shared the same cache configuration are updated, no regressions are affected.

Mem: Use cycles to express cache-related latencies
This patch changes the cache-related latencies from an absolute time expressed in Ticks, to a number of cycles that can be scaled with the clock period of the caches. Ultimately this patch serves to enable future work that involves dynamic frequency scaling. As an immediate benefit it also makes it more convenient to specify cache performance without implicitly assuming a specific CPU core operating frequency.
The stat blocked_cycles that actually counter in ticks is now updated to count in cycles.
As the timing is now rounded to the clock edges of the cache, there are some regressions that change. Plenty of them have very minor changes, whereas some regressions with a short run-time are perturbed quite significantly. A follow-on patch updates all the statistics for the regressions.

Regression: Use addTwoLevelCacheHierarchy in configs
This patch unifies the full-system regression config scripts and uses the BaseCPU convenience method addTwoLevelCacheHierarchy to connect up the L1s and L2, and create the bus inbetween.
The patch is a step on the way to use the clock period to express the cache latencies, as the CPU is now the parent of the L1, L2 and L1-L2 bus, and these modules thus use the CPU clock.
The patch does not change the value of any stats, but plenty names, and a follow-up patch contains the update to the stats, chaning system.l2c to system.cpu.l2cache.

Bus: Split the bus into a non-coherent and coherent bus
This patch introduces a class hierarchy of buses, a non-coherent one, and a coherent one, splitting the existing bus functionality. By doing so it also enables further specialisation of the two types of buses.
A non-coherent bus connects a number of non-snooping masters and slaves, and routes the request and response packets based on the address. The request packets issued by the master connected to a non-coherent bus could still snoop in caches attached to a coherent bus, as is the case with the I/O bus and memory bus in most system configurations. No snoops will, however, reach any master on the non-coherent bus itself. The non-coherent bus can be used as a template for modelling PCI, PCIe, and non-coherent AMBA and OCP buses, and is typically used for the I/O buses.
A coherent bus connects a number of (potentially) snooping masters and slaves, and routes the request and response packets based on the address, and also forwards all requests to the snoopers and deals with the snoop responses. The coherent bus can be used as a template for modelling QPI, HyperTransport, ACE and coherent OCP buses, and is typically used for the L1-to-L2 buses and as the main system interconnect.
The configuration scripts are updated to use a NoncoherentBus for all peripheral and I/O buses.
A bit of minor tidying up has also been done.

CPU: Check that the interrupt controller is created when needed
This patch adds a creation-time check to the CPU to ensure that the interrupt controller is created for the cases where it is needed, i.e. if the CPU is not being switched in later and not a checker CPU.
The patch also adds the "createInterruptController" call to a number of the regression scripts.

MEM: Introduce the master/slave port roles in the Python classes
This patch classifies all ports in Python as either Master or Slave and enforces a binding of master to slave. Conceptually, a master (such as a CPU or DMA port) issues requests, and receives responses, and conversely, a slave (such as a memory or a PIO device) receives requests and sends back responses. Currently there is no differentiation between coherent and non-coherent masters and slaves.
The classification as master/slave also involves splitting the dual role port of the bus into a master and slave port and updating all the system assembly scripts to use the appropriate port. Similarly, the interrupt devices have to have their int_port split into a master and slave port. The intdev and its children have minimal changes to facilitate the extra port.
Note that this patch does not enforce any port typing in the C++ world, it merely ensures that the Python objects have a notion of the port roles and are connected in an appropriate manner. This check is carried when two ports are connected, e.g. bus.master = memory.port. The following patches will make use of the classifications and specialise the C++ ports into masters and slaves.

MEM: Make the bus bridge unidirectional and fixed address range
This patch makes the bus bridge uni-directional and specialises the bus ports to be a master port and a slave port. This greatly simplifies the assumptions on both sides as either port only has to deal with requests or responses. The following patches introduce the notion of master and slave ports, and would not be possible without this split of responsibilities.
In making the bridge unidirectional, the address range mechanism of the bridge is also changed. For the cases where communication is taking place both ways, an additional bridge is needed. This causes issues with the existing mechanism, as the busses cannot determine when to stop iterating the address updates from the two bridges. To avoid this issue, and also greatly simplify the specification, the bridge now has a fixed set of address ranges, specified at creation time.

O3: Remove hardcoded tgts_per_mshr in O3CPU.py.
There are two lines in O3CPU.py that set the dcache and icache tgts_per_mshr to 20, ignoring any pre-configured value of tgts_per_mshr. This patch removes these hardcoded lines from O3CPU.py and sets the default L1 cache mshr targets to 20.

Mem: Fix issue with dirty block being lost when entire block transferred to non-cache.
This change fixes the problem for all the cases we actively use. If you want to try more creative I/O device attachments (E.g. sharing an L2), this won't work. You would need another level of caching between the I/O device and the cache (which you actually need anyway with our current code to make sure writes propagate). This is required so that you can mark the cache in between as top level and it won't try to send ownership of a block to the I/O device. Asserts have been added that should catch any issues.

Config: Keep track of uncached and cached ports separately.
This makes sure that the address ranges requested for caches and uncached ports don't conflict with each other, and that accesses which are always uncached (message signaled interrupts for instance) don't waste time passing through caches.

mem: use single BadAddr responder per system. Previously there was one per bus, which caused some coherence problems when more than one decided to respond. Now there is just one on the main memory bus. The default bus responder on all other buses is now the downstream cache's cpu_side port. Caches no longer need to do address range filtering; instead, we just have a simple flag to prevent snoops from propagating to the I/O bus.
