Having the caller decide the matching logic is error-prone, and
frequently ends up with the secure bit being forgotten. This
change adds matching functions to the QueueEntry to avoid this
problem.
As a side effect the signature of findPending has been changed.

Neither assert(0) nor assert(false) give any hint as to why control
getting to them is bad, and their more descriptive versions,
assert(0 && "description") and assert(false && "description"), jury
rig assert to add an error message when the utility function panic()
already does that directly with better formatting options.
This change replaces that flavor of call to assert with panic, except
in the actual code which processes the formatting that panic uses (to
avoid infinitely recurring error handling), and in some *.sm files
since I don't know what rules those have to follow and don't want to
accidentaly break them.

Packet::checkFunctional also wrote data to/from the packet depending
on if it was read/write, respectively, which the 'check' in the name
would suggest otherwise. This renames it to doFunctional, which is
more suggestive. It also renames any function called checkFunctional
which calls Packet::checkFunctional. These are
- Bridge::BridgeMasterPort::checkFunctional
- calls Packet::checkFunctional
- MSHR::checkFunctional
- calls Packet::checkFunctional
- MSHR::TargetList::checkFunctional

- Queue<>::checkFunctional
(of src/mem/cache/queue.hh, not src/cpu/minor/buffers.h)

The class re-uses the existing MSHR and write queue. At the moment
every single access is handled by the cache, even uncacheable
accesses, and nothing is forwarded.

The cache queue reserve is there as an overflow to give us enough
headroom based on when we block the cache, and how many transactions
we may already have accepted before actually blocking. The previous
values were probably chosen to be "big enough", when we actually know
that we check the MSHRs after every single allocation, and for the
write buffers we know that we implicitly may need one entry for every
outstanding MSHR.

mem: Adjust cache queue reserve to more conservative values
The cache queue reserve is there as an overflow to give us enough
headroom based on when we block the cache, and how many transactions
we may already have accepted before actually blocking. The previous
values were probably chosen to be "big enough", when we actually know
that we check the MSHRs after every single allocation, and for the
write buffers we know that we implicitly may need one entry for every
outstanding MSHR.
This patch breaks out the cache write buffer into a separate class,
without affecting any stats. The goal of the patch is to avoid
encumbering the much-simpler write queue with the complex MSHR
handling. In a follow on patch this simplification allows us to
implement write combining.
The WriteQueue gets its own class, but shares a common ancestor, the
generic Queue, with the MSHRQueue.
