misc: Using smart pointers for memory Requests
This patch is changing the underlying type for RequestPtr from Request* to shared_ptr<Request>. Having memory requests being managed by smart pointers will simplify the code; it will also prevent memory leakage and dangling pointers.

mem, cpu: Add a separate flag for strictly ordered memory
The Request::UNCACHEABLE flag currently has two different functions. The first, and obvious, function is to prevent the memory system from caching data in the request. The second function is to prevent reordering and speculation in CPU models.
This changeset gives the order/speculation requirement a separate flag (Request::STRICT_ORDER). This flag prevents CPU models from doing the following optimizations:
* Speculation: CPU models are not allowed to issue speculative loads.
* Write combining: CPU models and caches are not allowed to merge writes to the same cache line.
Note: The memory system may still reorder accesses unless the UNCACHEABLE flag is set. It is therefore expected that the STRICT_ORDER flag is combined with the UNCACHEABLE flag to prevent this behavior.

sim: Move the BaseTLB to src/arch/generic/
The TLB-related code is generally architecture dependent and should live in the arch directory to signify that.

arch: Pass faults by const reference where possible
This patch changes how faults are passed between methods in an attempt to copy as few reference-counting pointer instances as possible. This should avoid unecessary copies being created, contributing to the increment/decrement of the reference counters.

cpu: Fix setTranslateLatency() bug for squashed instructions

mem: track per-request latencies and access depths in the cache hierarchy
Add some values and methods to the request object to track the translation and access latency for a request and which level of the cache hierarchy responded to the request.

Translation: Use a pointer type as the template argument.
This allows regular pointers and reference counted pointers without having to use any shim structures or other tricks.

O3: Enhance data address translation by supporting hardware page table walkers.
Some ISAs (like ARM) relies on hardware page table walkers. For those ISAs, when a TLB miss occurs, initiateTranslation() can return with NoFault but with the translation unfinished.
Instructions experiencing a delayed translation due to a hardware page table walk are deferred until the translation completes and kept into the IQ. In order to keep track of them, the IQ has been augmented with a queue of the outstanding delayed memory instructions. When their translation completes, instructions are re-executed (only their initiateAccess() was already executed; their DTB translation is now skipped). The IEW stage has been modified to support such a 2-pass execution.

Faults: Pass the StaticInst involved, if any, to a Fault's invoke method.
Also move the "Fault" reference counted pointer type into a separate file, sim/fault.hh. It would be better to name this less similarly to sim/faults.hh to reduce confusion, but fault.hh matches the name of the type. We could change Fault to FaultPtr to match other pointer types, and then changing the name of the file would make more sense.

BaseDynInst: Make the TLB translation timing instead of atomic.
This initiates a timing translation and passes the read or write on to the processor before waiting for it to finish. Once the translation is finished, the instruction's state is updated via the 'finish' function. A new DataTranslation class is created to handle this.
The idea is taken from the implementation of timing translations in TimingSimpleCPU by Gabe Black. This patch also separates out the timing translations from this CPU and uses the new DataTranslation class.
