Since the tag classes are subclasses of SimObject, they inherit an
init function which does generic initialization at simulation startup
and which doesn't take any parameters. A new function was added which
does take a parameter, and which is just for doing tag specific
initialization as triggered by the base cache. These two names clashed,
and clang complained that the tag local name was hiding the SimObject
name (which it was).

When a s2Lookup object is created, a new request is created, based
upon the original, stage 1 request sent out by the CPU. When a fault
occurs during the second stage of translation, this new request is
returned. This can lead to issues with the O3 CPU. The O3 fetch stage
will not acknowledge the fault as it is a different request than the
one it sent out and does not contain a contextID. This commit
rectifies this.

This patch refactors AArch64 MSR/MRS trapping, by moving the trapping
helpers in arch/arm/utility and in the isa code into a MiscRegOp64
class.
This class is the Base class for a generic AArch64 instruction which is
making use of system registers (MiscReg), like MSR,MRS,SYS. The common
denominator or those instruction is the chance that the system register
access is trapped to an upper Exception level. MiscRegOp64 is providing
that feature.
What do we gain? Other "pseudo" instructions, like access to
implementation defined registers can inherit from this class to make use
of the trapping functionalities even if there is no data movement
between GPRs and system register.

Add a utility method, SimObject.apply_config that can be used to
implement SimObject param overrides from the command line. This
function provides safe and convenient semantics for CLI assignment:
* The override expression is evaluated in a restricted environment. The
only global variables are the child objects and params from the root
object.
* Only params can be overridden. For example, calling methods or setting
attributes on SimObjects isn't possible.
* Vectors use non-standard list semantics which enable something similar
to glob expansion on the shell. For example, setting:
root.system.cpu[0:2].numThreads = 2
will override numThreads for cpu 0 and 1 and:
root.system.cpus[0,2].numThreads = 2
sets it for cpus 0 and 2.
The intention is that the helper method is called to override default
values before calling m5.instantiate.

Enable the cache to detect contiguous writes and hold on to the MSHR

is written, the MSHR will be sent out as an invalidation requests, as
it is part of a whole-line write, i.e. no-fetch-on-write.
The cache is also able to switch to a write-no-allocate policy on the
actual completion of the writes, and instead use the tempBlock and
turn the write operation into a writeback.
These policies are all well-known, and described in works such as

For the ISA bus and the UART, accesses are byte sized and so endianness

This actually compiles fine because the NULL ISA claims to be little
endian, but really these accessors should be changed to use little
endian all the time since that's what PCI is defined to use, not
the guest endianness.
The other types of accessors, specifically the ones that default to
what the guest wants, should be excluded when building NULL_ISA, and,
pending other dependencies, the NULL_ISA should no longer have an
endianness associated with it.
