dev: Fix address type promotion issues in VirtIO devices

With the change we explicitly update the types for the VirtIO bit
masks to be Addr (uint64_t). By changing this, we ensure type
promotion where it is needed. Therefore, this fixes issues where, in
certain situations, address calculations were performed in 32-bits,
resulting in overflows.

dev: Add a dummy VirtIO device

VirtIO transport interfaces always expect a VirtIO device
pointer. However, there are cases (in particular when using VirtIO's
MMIO interface) where we want to instantiate an interface without a
device. Add a dummy device using VirtIO device ID 0 and no queues to
handle this use case.

misc: Remove redundant compiler-specific defines

This patch moves away from using M5_ATTR_OVERRIDE and the m5::hashmap
(and similar) abstractions, as these are no longer needed with gcc 4.7
and clang 3.1 as minimum compiler versions.

sim: Refactor the serialization base class

Objects that are can be serialized are supposed to inherit from the
Serializable class. This class is meant to provide a unified API for
such objects. However, so far it has mainly been used by SimObjects
due to some fundamental design limitations. This changeset redesigns
to the serialization interface to make it more generic and hide the
underlying checkpoint storage. Specifically:

* Add a set of APIs to serialize into a subsection of the current
object. Previously, objects that needed this functionality would
use ad-hoc solutions using nameOut() and section name
generation. In the new world, an object that implements the
interface has the methods serializeSection() and
unserializeSection() that serialize into a named /subsection/ of
the current object. Calling serialize() serializes an object into
the current section.

* Move the name() method from Serializable to SimObject as it is no
longer needed for serialization. The fully qualified section name
is generated by the main serialization code on the fly as objects
serialize sub-objects.

* Add a scoped ScopedCheckpointSection helper class. Some objects
need to serialize data structures, that are not deriving from
Serializable, into subsections. Previously, this was done using
nameOut() and manual section name generation. To simplify this,
this changeset introduces a ScopedCheckpointSection() helper
class. When this class is instantiated, it adds a new /subsection/
and subsequent serialization calls during the lifetime of this
helper class happen inside this section (or a subsection in case
of nested sections).

* The serialize() call is now const which prevents accidental state
manipulation during serialization. Objects that rely on modifying
state can use the serializeOld() call instead. The default
implementation simply calls serialize(). Note: The old-style calls
need to be explicitly called using the
serializeOld()/serializeSectionOld() style APIs. These are used by
default when serializing SimObjects.

* Both the input and output checkpoints now use their own named
types. This hides underlying checkpoint implementation from
objects that need checkpointing and makes it easier to change the
underlying checkpoint storage code.

dev, pci: Implement basic VirtIO support

This patch adds support for VirtIO over the PCI bus. It does so by
providing the following new SimObjects:

* VirtIODeviceBase - Abstract base class for VirtIO devices.
* PciVirtIO - VirtIO PCI transport interface.

A VirtIO device is hooked up to the guest system by adding a PciVirtIO
device to the PCI bus and connecting it to a VirtIO device using the
vio parameter.

New VirtIO devices should inherit from VirtIODevice base and
implementing one or more VirtQueues. The VirtQueues are usually
device-specific and all derive from the VirtQueue class. Queues must
be registered with the base class from the constructor since the
device assumes that the number of queues stay constant.
