alpha,arm,mips,power,riscv,sparc,x86,cpu: Get rid of ISA_HAS_DELAY_SLOT.

This constant is, first, a #define, and second only used in one place.

In that one place, it appears that the code it guards is no longer
necessary in general. It was originally written to avoid refetching a
block of data that you're still in, even if you've moved slightly
farther in it because you're skipping the next instruction due to an
annulled branch delay slot. In reality however, in SPARC, the one ISA
I'm aware of which has this sort of branching behavior, the PC state
object will correctly determine that no branch is happening in these
cases. Code lower down in the loop will then recompute where fetching
should continue based on the next PC, automatically skipping the
annulled branch slot without misinterpretting the gap as a branch.

This change therefore also removes this block of code.

riscv: enable unaligned memory accesses

Sometimes an ld instruction will be split across a
cache boundary. Previously RISC-V was set to not
allow this. This patch fixes that.

riscv: [Patch 5/5] Added missing support for timing CPU models

Last of five patches adding RISC-V to GEM5. This patch adds support for
timing, minor, and detailed CPU models that was missing in the last four,
which basically consists of handling timing-mode memory accesses and
telling the minor and detailed models what a no-op instruction should
be (addi zero, zero, 0).

Patches 1-4 introduced RISC-V and implemented the base instruction set,
RV64I, and added the multiply, floating point, and atomic memory
extensions, RV64MAFD.

[Fixed compatibility with edit from patch 1.]
[Fixed compatibility with hg copy edit from patch 1.]
[Fixed some style errors in locked_mem.hh.]

arch: [Patch 1/5] Added RISC-V base instruction set RV64I

First of five patches adding RISC-V to GEM5. This patch introduces the
base 64-bit ISA (RV64I) in src/arch/riscv for use with syscall emulation.
The multiply, floating point, and atomic memory instructions will be added
in additional patches, as well as support for more detailed CPU models.
The loader is also modified to be able to parse RISC-V ELF files, and a
"Hello world\!" example for RISC-V is added to test-progs.

Patch 2 will implement the multiply extension, RV64M; patch 3 will implement
the floating point (single- and double-precision) extensions, RV64FD;
patch 4 will implement the atomic memory instructions, RV64A, and patch 5
will add support for timing, minor, and detailed CPU models that is missing
from the first four patches (such as handling locked memory).

[Removed several unused parameters and imports from RiscvInterrupts.py,
RiscvISA.py, and RiscvSystem.py.]
[Fixed copyright information in RISC-V files copied from elsewhere that had
ARM licenses attached.]
[Reorganized instruction definitions in decoder.isa so that they are sorted
by opcode in preparation for the addition of ISA extensions M, A, F, D.]
[Fixed formatting of several files, removed some variables and
instructions that were missed when moving them to other patches, fixed
RISC-V Foundation copyright attribution, and fixed history of files
copied from other architectures using hg copy.]
[Fixed indentation of switch cases in isa.cc.]
[Reorganized syscall descriptions in linux/process.cc to remove large
number of repeated unimplemented system calls and added implmementations
to functions that have received them since it process.cc was first
created.]
[Fixed spacing for some copyright attributions.]
[Replaced the rest of the file copies using hg copy.]
[Fixed style check errors and corrected unaligned memory accesses.]
[Fix some minor formatting mistakes.]
