This namespace has gone through the deprecation period
and can now be removed.

974a47dfb9 misc: Adopt the gem5 namespace
Apply the gem5 namespace to the codebase.

Some anonymous namespaces could theoretically be removed,
but since this change's main goal was to keep conflicts
at a minimum, it was decided not to modify much the
general shape of the files.

A few missing comments of the form "// namespace X" that
occurred before the newly added "} // namespace gem5"
have been added for consistency.

std out should not be included in the gem5 namespace, so
they weren't.

ProtoMessage has not been included in the gem5 namespace,
since I'm not familiar with how proto works.

Regarding the SystemC files, although they belong to gem5,
they actually perform integration between gem5 and SystemC;
therefore, it deserved its own separate namespace.

Files that are automatically generated have been included
in the gem5 namespace.

The .isa files currently are limited to a single namespace.
This limitation should be later removed to make it easier
to accomodate a better API.

Regarding the files in util, gem5:: was prepended where
suitable. Notice that this patch was tested as much as
possible given that most of these were already not
previously compiling.

495f0cb63d mem-cache: Rename Compressor namespace as compression
As part of recent decisions regarding namespace
naming conventions, all namespaces will be changed
to snake case.

::Compressor became ::compression.

"compression" was chosen over "compressor" to avoid
generating conflicts with the already existing variables,
as well as because the namespace contains more than solely
compressors (e.g., encoders).

d05a0a4ea1 misc: Delete the now unnecessary create methods.
Most create() methods are no longer necessary. This change deletes them,
and occasionally moves some code from them into the constructors they
call.

91d83cc8a1 misc: Standardize the way create() constructs SimObjects.
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).

de94a29f85 mem-cache: Standardize data parsing in compressors
The compressors are not able to process a whole line at once,
so they must divide it into multiple same-sized chunks. This
patch makes the base compressor responsible for this division,
so that the derived classes are mostly agnostic to this
translation.

This change has been coupled with a change of the signature
of the public compress() to avoid introducing a temporary
function rename. Previously, this function did not return
the compressed data, under the assumption that everything
related to the compressed data would be handled by the
compressor. However, sometimes the units using the compressor
could need to know or store the compressed data.

For example, when sharing dictionaries the compressed data
must be checked to determine if two blocks can co-allocate
(DISH, Panda et al. 2016).

101e16facf mem-cache: Create Compressor namespace
Creation of the Compressor namespace. It encapsulates all the cache
compressors, and other classes used by them.

The following classes have been renamed:
BaseCacheCompressor -> Base
PerfectCompressor - Perfect
RepeatedQwordsCompressor -> RepeatedQwords
ZeroCompressor -> Zero

BaseDictionaryCompressor and DictionaryCompressor were not renamed
because the there is a high probability that users may want to
create a Dictionary class that encompasses the dictionary contained
by these compressors.

To apply this patch one must force recompilation (e.g., by deleting
it) of build/<arch>/params/BaseCache.hh (and any other files that
were previously using these compressors).

89f2d5eb54 misc: Make many includes explicit.
A future change will adjust how some includes can be included
transitively. This change fixes up those files so that they include the
headers they need directly, instead of expecting to have them by
accident through other files.
