The MaltaPChip class is currently unused and identical (except for the
class name) to the TsunamiPChip. If someone decides to implement PCI
for Malta, they should make sure to share code with the Tsunami
implementation if they are similar.
When casting objects in the generated SWIG interfaces, SWIG uses
classical C-style casts ( (Foo *)bar; ). In some cases, this can
degenerate into the equivalent of a reinterpret_cast (mainly if only a
forward declaration of the type is available). This usually works for
most compilers, but it is known to break if multiple inheritance is
used anywhere in the object hierarchy.
This patch introduces the cxx_header attribute to Python SimObject
definitions, which should be used to specify a header to include in
the SWIG interface. The header should include the declaration of the
wrapped object. We currently don't enforce header the use of the
header attribute, but a warning will be generated for objects that do
not use it.
This patch cleans up a number of remaining uses of bus.port which
is now split into bus.master and bus.slave. The only non-trivial change
is the memtest where the level building now has to be aware of the role
of the ports used in the previous level.
