0dfa59f0bb arch,cpu,dev,sim,mem: Collect System thread elements into a subclass.
The System class has a few different arrays of values which each
correspond to a thread of execution based on their position. This
change collects them together into a single class to make managing them
easier and less error prone. It also collects methods for manipulating
those threads as an API for that class.

This class acts as a collection point for thread based state which the
System class can look into to get at all its state. It also acts as an
interface for interacting with threads for other classes. This forces
external consumers to use the API instead of accessing the individual
arrays which improves consistency.

872cb227fd mem-cache: prevent prefetcher from saturating the write buffer
When the write buffer is full, it still has space to store an additional
number of entries (reserve) equal to the number of MSHRs so that if any
of them requires a writeback this can be handled. Even if the slave port
is blocked, a prefetcher can generate new MSHR entries that may lead to
additional writebacks and eventually saturate the reserve space. This is
solved by checking if the cache is blocked for accesses before
prefetching data.

89f2d5eb54 misc: Make many includes explicit.
A future change will adjust how some includes can be included
transitively. This change fixes up those files so that they include the
headers they need directly, instead of expecting to have them by
accident through other files.

c764e1b3dc mem-cache: Fixes to PIF prefetcher
The temporal compactor was never initialized.

There were more possible indexes to the prec/succ vectors than
entries, so a block distance of zero would seg fault.

When checking for an address the wrong vector was being used.

From the original paper, "The prediction mechanism searches for
the PC of the accessed instruction in the index table"

01a8783d58 mem-cache: Fix DCPT with CircularQueue
This patch fixes the following bugs:

- Previously when deltaPointer was 0 or 1, getting the last or penultimate deltas
  would be wrong for non-pow2 deltas.size(). For example, if the last added delta
  was to position 0, the previous should be in position 19, if deltas.size() = 20.
  However, 0-1=4294967295, and 4294967295%20=15.

- When searching for the previous late and penultimate, the oldest entry was being
  skipped.

  MultiCompressor(compressors=[
    PerfectCompressor(decompression_latency=1),
    PerfectCompressor(decompression_latency=2)])

Where it is expected that compressor0 (the one with decomp lat
of 1) is always chosen.

The new local access mechanism installs a callback in the request which
implements what the mmapped IPR was doing. That avoids having to have
stubs in ISAs that don't have mmapped IPRs, avoids having to encode
what to do to communicate from the TLB and the mmapped IPR functions,
and gets rid of another global ISA interface function and header files.

0a276fb4bb mem-cache: Modify compressor to appease newer compilers
The type of the local unique_ptr variable was different from the return type.

In C++11 because of such difference, a copy-ellision would not be possible,
and that required the use of a std::move.

In C++14 the restriction of same types being required was removed, so
std::move would not be needed anymore.

With the addition of the -Wredundant-move warning in newer compilers, having
the std::move on the return became an issue, breaking compilation.
