data_write_req byteEnable which is used in ARM SVE partial writes was not
being zeroed between writes.
As a result, non-SVE memory write instructions such as STP that followed
SVE memory write instructions could still have the write mask active.
This could lead to wrong simulation behaviour, and to an assertion failure:
src/mem/packet.hh:1211: void Packet::writeData(uint8_t*) const: Assertion
`req->getByteEnable().size() == getSize()' failed. '`

No caller uses any of the MasterPort specific properties of these
function's return values, so we can instead return a reference to the
base Port class. This makes it possible for the data and inst ports
to be of any port type, not just gem5 style MasterPorts. This makes
life simpler for, for example, systemc based CPUs which might have TLM
ports.
It also makes it possible for any two CPUs which have compatible ports
to be switched between, as long as the ports they use support being
unbound. Unfortunately that does not include TLM or systemc ports which
are bound permanently.

This returns a sendFunctional delegate references which can be used
to send functional accesses directly, or more likely when constructing
a PortProxy subclass. In those cases only the functional capabilities
of those ports are needed so there's no reason to require a full port
which supports all three protocols. Also, this removes the last
remaining use of get(Data|Inst)Port which relies on those returning
a port which supports the gem5 protocols, except the default
implementations of this new function. If a CPU doesn't have
traditional gem5 style ports, it can override this function to
do whatever other behavior is necessary and return its real ports
through get(Data|Inst)Port.

The X86 local APIC doesn't actually use the pio_addr set in the config
and instead computes what address it will respond to based on the
initial ID of the CPU it's attached to. gem5's BasicPioDevice, which
the X86LocalApic class inherits from, does not provide a default value
for that parameter and will complain if *something* isn't set. The
value used, 0x2000000000000000, is a dummy value which is the base of
the region of the physical address space set aside for messages to
local APICs from the CPU and from other local APICs.
Also, the clock for the local APIC's timer is defined to be the bus
clock. The assumption seems to be that this has a 16:1 ratio with the
CPU clock, and I vaguely remember finding that that was more or less
unofficially true, even if it isn't necessary stringently defined to
be that.
Since we were already just assuming that that ratio was correct and
always setting up the local APICs clock that way, we can do that in
the X86LocalApic class definition and remove some special x86 specific
setup that we'd otherwise need for the x86 version of the Interrupt
class. If that's not correct, it can still be overridden somewhere else
in the config.

Fix problem with O3 and AMO instructions. At initial stages amo
instruction is considered a type of non-speculative store. After
the instruction has been commited and during the squash step,
acquire_release version of the AMO operation is considered speculative,
that differents results in an assert fault. This fix ensures that AMO
instructions are always considered non-speculative, during early stages
and during squas/removal of the instruction.

The assert() in the LSQ writeback() only allowed ReExec faults.
However, a SplitRequest which completed the translation in
PartialFault state (i.e. any but the very first cacheline
translation failed) may end up here. The assert() condition is
extended accordingly.
The patch also removes the superfluous/unused Complete/Squashed
states from the LSQ request. (The completion of the request is
recorded in the flags still.)

Reset the fault status always before translation is initiated in
pushRequest() in the LSQ. This avoids the problem when a strictly
ordered load needs to be re-executed multiple times. If the
translation is delayed at one of those attempts then the
internal panicFault (from the previous execution attempt) can get
fired at commit.

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 changeset adds support for partial (or masked) loads/stores, i.e.
loads/stores that can disable accesses to individual bytes within the
target address range. In addition, this changeset extends the code to
crack memory accesses across most CPU models (TimingSimpleCPU still
TBD), so that arbitrarily wide memory accesses are supported. These
changes are required for supporting ISAs with wide vectors.

Then cast to the ISA specific type when necessary. This removes
(mostly) an ISA specific aspect to some of the interfaces. The ISA
specific version of the kernel stats still needs to be constructed and
stored in a few places which means that kernel_stats.hh still needs to
be a switching arch header, for instance.
In the future, I'd like to make the kernel its own object like the
Process objects in SE mode, and then it would be able to instantiate
and maintain its own stats.

Occasionally MemObject is replaced with SimObject when I was fairly
