This makes RegIds and the RegClass-es associated with them responsible
for their own flattening. If they don't need to be flattened (a common
case) then they just mark themselves as already flat and that step can
be skipped.
This will also make it possible to get rid of the (get|set)RegFlat APIs,
since if you want to use flattened registers, you'll either have or
create a flattened RegId and pass it into the same (get|set)Reg method.
By making flattening work on RegIds instead of RegIndexes, this will
also make it possible for registers to start out in one RegClass and
move into another one. This would be useful if, for instance, there were
multiple groups of integer registers which had different indexing
semantics, but which should all end up in the same pool for renaming.
For instance, on x86, there are three distinct classes of FP registers.
They are the MMX registers, the pairs of registers which back the XMM
registers, and the X87 registers. Only the last of these needs
flattening. These could all be treated as different RegClass-es
pre-flattening, and could converge on the underlying floating point
register file post-flattening.
Another example in x86 is that some registers can encode that they
should refer to either the first byte of one register, or the second
byte of another register. This only applies to some registers though,
and so only those would need to go through the flattening step.
Another major advantage is that this removes the need for flattening
functions on the ISA object. Having those, and treating the ISA object
as a TheISA::ISA instead of the more generic BaseISA, was done to make
the flattening functions inline, and to make them fold away in cases
where flattening is not necessary. This new scheme isn't *quite* as
streamline as that, since you'll actually need to check if something is
already flattened. You won't, however, need to check what type the
register is and then look up the right flattening function, so that will
likely compensate.

Replace the two constructors with one that takes the truly mandantory
parameters, and then a function to derive a new RegClass with some sort
of adjustment, currently by adding custom ops, or setting a non-standard
register size.
Because the constructor and the modifier function are constexpr, they
should fold away and not actually create extra temporary copies of the
RegClass in the modifier functions.

By default, registers are the size of RegVal, the type often used to
store them. For some types of registers, like vector or vector predicate
registers, the size of each individual register is larger, and can't fit
in a primitive type.
To help facilitate storing even these outliers in a generalized way,
this change adds two fields to RegClassInfo to track the size of
individual registers. One tracks the raw size of the registers
themselves, and the other tracks the minimal shift necessary to find the
offset of a register in a contiguous(ish) array of bytes. By forcing
each register to be aligned to a power of two boundary, we avoid having
to do a multiplication to find their address even if the registers are
oddly sized. We can instead do a shift with a precomputed shift amount
which should be faster.

Apply the gem5 namespace to the codebase.
Some anonymous namespaces could theoretically be removed,
but since this change's main goal was to keep conflicts
at a minimum, it was decided not to modify much the
general shape of the files.
A few missing comments of the form "// namespace X" that
occurred before the newly added "} // namespace gem5"
have been added for consistency.
std out should not be included in the gem5 namespace, so
they weren't.
ProtoMessage has not been included in the gem5 namespace,
since I'm not familiar with how proto works.
Regarding the SystemC files, although they belong to gem5,
they actually perform integration between gem5 and SystemC;
therefore, it deserved its own separate namespace.
Files that are automatically generated have been included
in the gem5 namespace.
The .isa files currently are limited to a single namespace.
This limitation should be later removed to make it easier
to accomodate a better API.
Regarding the files in util, gem5:: was prepended where
suitable. Notice that this patch was tested as much as
possible given that most of these were already not
previously compiling.

Also, there is no good reason to return an integer value by const

The isZeroReg() helper checked if the register was both an integer
register, and if it equaled TheISA::ZeroReg. This bakes in both the
assumption that any zero registers are integer (and that integer
registers are a thing), and also internalizes the plumbing which selects
what index is the zero register.
This change eliminates the isZeroReg helper and moves the logic inside
it into where it was called. In most cases, it was actually not
necessary to check if the register was integer since that was already
implied by context. This also brings the TheISA::ZeroReg constant out,
where it can be replaced by values plumbed in more generally than a
fixed, ISA specific constant.

These currently only hold the number of registers in a particular class,
but can be extended in the future to hold other information about each
class. The ISA class holds a vector of descriptors which other parts of
gem5 can retrieve to set up storage for each class, etc.
Currently, the RegClass enum is used to explicitly index into the vector
of descriptors to get information about a particular class. Once enough
information is stored in the descriptors, the other parts of gem5 should
be able to set up for each register class generically, and the ISAs will
be able to leave out or create new register classes without having to
set up global plumbing for it.
The more immediate benefit is that this should (mostly) parameterize
away the ISA register constants to break another TheISA style
dependency. Currently a global set of descriptors are set up in the
BaseISA class using the old TheISA constants, but it should be easy to
break those out and make the ISAs set up their own descriptors. That
will bring arch/registers.hh significantly closer to being eliminated.

This patch adds support for pinning registers for a certain number of
consecutive writes. This is only relevant for timing CPU models
(functional-only models are unaffected), and it is primarily needed to
provide a realistic execution model for micro-coded operations whose
microops can write to non-overlapping portions of a destination
register, e.g. vector gather loads. In those cases, this mechanism
can disable renaming for a sequence of consecutive writes, thus making
the resulting execution more efficient: allocating a new physical
register for each microop would introduce a read-modify-write chain of
dependencies, while with these modifications the microops can write
back in parallel.
Please note that this new feature is only leveraged by O3CPU for the
time being.

This patch adds some more functionality to the cpu model and the arch to
interface with the vector register file.
This change consists mainly of augmenting ThreadContexts and ExecContexts
with calls to get/set full vectors, underlying microarchitectural elements
or lanes. Those are meant to interface with the vector register file. All
classes that implement this interface also get an appropriate implementation.
This requires implementing the vector register file for the different
models using the VecRegContainer class.
This change set also updates the Result abstraction to contemplate the
possibility of having a vector as result.
The changes also affect how the remote_gdb connection works.
There are some (nasty) side effects, such as the need to define dummy
numPhysVecRegs parameter values for architectures that do not implement
vector extensions.
