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 following deadlock was occuring in fetch_unit w/timingSim:
1. exec() is called, a wave is ready to fetch, so it sets pendingFetch
2. A packet is sent to ITLB to fetch for that wave
3. The wave executes a branch, causing the fetch buffer to be cleared
4. The packet is handled, and fetch() is called. However, because the
fetch buffer was cleared, it returns doing nothing.
5. exec() gets called again, but the wave will never be scheduled to
fetch, as pendingFetch is still set to true.
This patch clears pendingFetch (and dropFetch) before returning in fetch()
when the fetch buffer has been cleared.
dropFetch needed to be cleared otherwise gem5 would crash.

The CU would initialize its ports in getMasterPort(), which
is not desirable as getMasterPort() may be called several
times for the same port. This can lead to a fatal if the CU
expects to only create a single port of a given type, and may
lead to other issues where stat names are duplicated.
This change instantiates and initializes the CU's ports in the
CU constructor using the CU params.
The index field is also removed from the CU's ports because the
base class already has an ID field, which will be set to the
default value in the base class's constructor for scalar ports.
It doesn't make sense for scalar port's to take an index because
they are scalar, so we let the base class initialize the ID to
the invalid port ID.

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.

This patch is changing the underlying type for RequestPtr from Request*
to shared_ptr<Request>. Having memory requests being managed by smart
pointers will simplify the code; it will also prevent memory leakage and
dangling pointers.

currently the PC is incremented on an instruction granularity, and not as an
instruction's byte address. machine ISA instructions assume the PC is a byte
address, and is incremented accordingly. here we make the GPU model, and the
HSAIL instructions treat the PC as a byte address as well.
the GPUISA class is meant to encapsulate any ISA-specific behavior - special
register accesses, isa-specific WF/kernel state, etc. - in a generic enough
way so that it may be used in ISA-agnostic code.
gpu-compute: use the GPUISA object to advance the PC
the GPU model treats the PC as a pointer to individual instruction objects -
which are store in a contiguous array - and not a byte address to be fetched
from the real memory system. this is ok for HSAIL because all instructions
are considered by the model to be the same size.
in machine ISA, however, instructions may be 32b or 64b, and branches are
calculated by advancing the PC by the number of words (4 byte chunks) it
needs to advance in the real instruction stream. because of this there is
a mismatch between the PC we use to index into the instruction array, and
the actual byte address PC the ISA expects. here we move the PC advance
calculation to the ISA so that differences in the instrucion sizes may be
accounted for in generic way.
