The create() method on Params structs usually instantiate SimObjects
using a constructor which takes the Params struct as a parameter
somehow. There has been a lot of needless variation in how that was
done, making it annoying to pass Params down to base classes. Some of
the different forms were:
const Params &
Params &
Params *
const Params *
Params const*
This change goes through and fixes up every constructor and every
create() method to use the const Params & form. We use a reference
because the Params struct should never be null. We use const because
neither the create method nor the consuming object should modify the
record of the parameters as they came in from the config. That would
make consuming them not idempotent, and make it impossible to tell what
the actual simulation configuration was since it would change from any
user visible form (config script, config.ini, dot pdf output).

This change updates the constructors of the CU's pipe
stages/memory pipelines to accept a pointer to their
parent CU. Because the CU creates these objects, and
can pass a pointer to itself to these object via their
constructors, this is the safer way to initalize these
classes.

This changeset drops fetches if there is no entry reserved in the
fetch buffer for that instruction. This can happen due to a fetch
attempted to be issued in the same cycle where a branch instruction
flushed the fetch buffer, while an ITLB or I-cache request is still
pending.
