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).

The queue in systemC scheduler is implemented as a std::map. This provides
the best big-O solution. However, most of simulation usecases has very
small number of pending events. This is expected as we usually only trigger a
few new events after some events are processed. In such scenario, we
should optimize for insert/erase instead of search. This change use
std::list instead of std::map.
As a proof, we can find that gem5's original event_queue is also
implemented as a list instead of tree.
We see 5% speed improvement with the example provided by Matthias Jung:

A completed TLM transaction includes request and response parts.
Currently, if a gem5 packet does not need a reponse, the bridge would not
send BEGIN_RESP to its upstream. It causes stuck on TLM side.
To fix this problem, the bridge should send BEGIN_RESP by itself in this
case.

Based on the 64-bit ELF ABI for Power systems (ppc64 and
ppc64le), the data types int64_t and uint64_t are typedefs
of long and unsigned long respectively. If the SystemC
data types int64 and uint64 point to these, several errors
are observed while building the simulator on Power systems
due to ambiguity between the types when overloading some
operators and functions.
E.g.
...
build/POWER/systemc/ext/channel/../dt/bit/sc_bit.hh:114:17: error: 'static bool sc_dt::sc_bit::to_value(sc_dt::int64)' cannot be overloaded with 'static bool sc_dt::sc_bit::to_value(long int)'
114 | static bool to_value(tp i) { return to_value((int)i); }
| ^~~~~~~~
...
build/POWER/systemc/ext/channel/../dt/bit/sc_bit.hh:114:17: note: previous declaration 'static bool sc_dt::sc_bit::to_value(long int)'
114 | static bool to_value(tp i) { return to_value((int)i); }
| ^~~~~~~~
...
This adds a minor change to a SystemC datatype header to
ensure that the simulator can be built on Power systems.

These false positives break the build. The error is below, and is bogus
as best I can tell. The constructor for the sc_unsigned and sc_signed
types, defined with some macro goop in sc_nbcommon.inc, have a call to
vec_copy_and_zero to copy over some data and zero the data that isn't
copied. That only happens if the source is smaller than the destination.
Then in vec_copy_and_zero, it calls vec_zero to set the last elements to
zero. Because of the check back at the constructor, only values that
exist should ever be set.
Also, in gem5, SC_MAX_NBITS is not set, so the definition of the array
it's bounds checking is declared right near where it's used and is sized
based on the variable being passed into vec_copy_and_zero.

The base Port class can keep track of its peer, and also whether it's
connected. This is partially delegated away from the port subclasses
which still keep track of a cast version of their peer pointer for
their own conveneince, so that it can be used by generic code. Even
with the Port mechanism's new flexibility, each port still has
exactly one peer and is either connected or not based on whether there
is a peer currently.

This mechanism had just been plumbed into the regular request_update,
but that doesn't have any thread safety which is the whole point of
async_request_update. This new mechanism puts async update requests
into their own list which is checked any time normal updates happen.
The delta cycle which triggers those updates must happen through some
other means which will usually be ok. The exact timing of the update
is undefined, so it would be legal for it to either not be recognized
before the impending end of the simulation, or for it to get picked up
by subsequent activity. If there isn't subsequent activity but the
simulation also doesn't end, for instance if there are only gem5 events
left, then that update could be lost. That is an unresolved issue.
It would be nice to schedule a "ready" event if async updates were
added which would ensure they wouldn't starve. Unfortunately that
requires the event queue lock, and in practice it's been found that a
systemc process might block, effectively holding the event queue lock,
while it waits for some asyncrhonous update to give it something to do.
This effectively deadlocks the system since the update is blocked on
the lock the main thread holds, and the main thread is blocked waiting
for the update.

This is a slightly mangled version of the existing bridge code in
util/tlm/src/. The changes fix some small style issues, change to gem5
specific include paths, and removes the Gem5SimControl code. That code
coordinates gem5 with the external systemc kernel, and in this usage
there's no external kernel.
The code imported here compiles, but it isn't yet expected to work.
