This is a legacy stat that was not easy to tie to a Stats::Group.
In ARM, this stat wasn't actually counting all faults, it was only
counting the faults that occured in 32-bit mode, so it's probably safe
to remove the stat (it was wrong anyway). For SPARC, it's also unlikely
anyone is depending on this stat for their research.

Move the instDone flag, and the instReady function which was
consistently implemented just to return it, to the base InstDecoder
class. This flag can still be accessed easily from the subclasses, but
now it can be retrieved with just an InstDecoder pointer without a
virtual function call.

This method is responsible for comparing gem5's state against the state
of the real process. When checking the value of NPC, it accessed the
value of nnpc() by calling pc.nnpc(), but did not actually update regVal
with it, so the comparison was between the value from the real process
and npc().
It's mildly confusing that nnpc is compared against npc, and npc against
pc, but that's because of what the state looks like in the real process
when single stepping through it with ptrace.
You can actually see where this bug was introduced if you look at the
change which created the PCState types originally. There, you can see
how regVal was set using a method of the ThreadContext, but after that
change the value is only accessed and not actually used.

This was originally intended to make it more efficient to get the
microPC without making a copy of the entire PCState object to return.
Now that the PCState is returned through a pointer without a copy and
the microPC can be accessed with an inline accessor, we don't need to
create a special accessor for it.

As described in a comment in the base KVM CPU, there needs to be a way
to set the next PC of a PCState object to the actual current PC. Since
this is the only place that sort of operation is needed and it's a bit
of a hack to get around a quirk of calling pseudo instructions in a KVM
CPU, we can support it by adding a virtual method for it which is
implemented by the ISA specific subclasses of the KVM CPU.

By using a PCStateBase pointer or reference, we can (mostly) avoid
having to know what the ISA specific PState class is, letting the ISA
specific instruction classes cast to the type they need internally.
There are a couple minor places where we need to do those casts outside
of ISA specific types, one in the generic NopStaticInstPtr class, and a
few in generic faults.
Right now, we'll just use the TheISA::PCState type in those isolated
spots (sometimes hidden by auto), and deal with it later, possibly
with a virtual "advance" method of some sort.

Most of the time, the type pointed to by a PCState pointer or reference
will be the same as all the others, if not nullptr.
This change adds a set of "set" functions which assume that the
underlying type of each pointer or reference are the same, and handles
casting, copying things over, creating a new copy, etc, for you. It uses
a new "update" virtual method on PCState subclasses which casts the
source to the same type as the destination and copies values over.
Note that the "set" function doesn't actually verify that the two types
are the same, just like the overloaded ==, != and << operators. In the
future, those checks can be added for debugging purposes, probably
guarded by a configuration variable which can be toggled on or off to
get better performance or more thorough error checking.
The main advantage of these wrappers are that they allows consistent
semantics whether your moving a value from a pointer, or from a yet
unconverted PCState subclass, or vice versa, which will be particularly
helpful while transitioning between using raw PCState instances and
using primarily pointers and references.
This change also adds wrappers which handle std::unique_ptr, which makes
it easier to use them as arguments to these functions. Otherwise, if the
std::unique_ptr is a temporary value, using the return value of .get()
will let the std::unique_ptr go out of scope, making it delete the data
pointed to by the returned pointed. By keeping the std::unique_ptr
around on the stack, that prevents it from going out of scope.

This method is the seed which creates a new PCState object of the
appropriate type. It can be used to initialize PCStateBase *s so that they
always point to something valid and can be manipulated without having to
first check if there's something there, as opposed to the alternative
where a pointer might be null until it's first pointed at something.

Introduce a virtual output() method which prints the current PCState to
the given output stream, and define an overload for << to use that
method. This will make it possible to print a PCState without knowing
what the actual type is.
