There are instructions in 64 bit mode which have been turned into the
REX and VEX prefixes, and which should no longer behave as instructions.
When not in 64 bit mode however, those instructions still need to behave
properly.
We were handling that for the REX prefixes by explicitly checking if the
prefix we found was one of those, and then whether we were in 64 bit
mode or not. We were not handling the VEX prefixes at all, so those were
always acting as prefixes, even when not in 64 bit mode.
This change replaces the REX check and possible VEX check by having two
prefix tables, one for 64 bit mode, and one for otherwise. The REX and
VEX prefixes are simply left out of the non 64b it mode table, making an
explicit check for them unnecessary.

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.

This DPRINTF accesses the ExtMachInst typed machInst member of the
StaticInst class, and so is ISA dependent. Move the DPRINTF to where the
instructions are actually decoded where that type doesn't have to be
disambiguated.
Also, this change makes this DPRINTF more accurate, since microops are
not really "decoded" when they are extracted from a macroop. The process
of unpacking them to feed into the rest of the CPU should be fairly
trivial, so really they're just being retrieved. With the DPRINTF in
this new position, it will only trigger when an instruction is actually
decoded from memory.

In most cases, the microcode ROM doesn't actually do anything. The
structural existence of a microcode ROM doesn't make sense in the
general case, and in architectures that know they have one and need to
interact with it, they can cast their decoder into an arch specific type
and access the ROM that way.

This doesn't completely hide the ISA specific ExtMachInst type inside
the ISAs since it still gets applied in arch/generic, but it at least
pulls it into the arch directory.

Remove redundant information from the ExtMachInst, hash the vex
information to ensure the decode cache works properly, print the vex info
when printing an ExtMachInst, consider the vex info when comparing two
ExtMachInsts, fold the info from the vex prefixes into existing settings,
remove redundant decode code, handle vex prefixes one byte at a time and
don't bother building up the entire prefix, and let instructions that care
about vex use it in their implementation, instead of developing an entire
parallel decode tree.
This also eliminates the error prone vex immediate decode table which was
incomplete and would result in an out of bounds access for incorrectly
encoded instructions or when the CPU was mispeculating, as it was (as far
as I can tell) redundant with the tables that already existed for two and
three byte opcodes. There were differences, but I think those may have
been mistakes based on the documentation I found.
Also, in 32 bit mode, the VEX prefixes might actually be LDS or LES
instructions which are still legal in that mode. A valid VEX prefix would
look like an LDS/LES with an otherwise invalid modrm encoding, so use that
as a signal to abort processing the VEX and turn the instruction into an
LES/LDS as appropriate.

This patch updates the x86 decoder so that it can decode instructions with vex
prefix. It also updates the isa with opcodes from vex opcode maps 1, 2 and 3.
Note that none of the instructions have been implemented yet. The
implementations would be provided in due course of time.
Instead of counting the number of opcode bytes in an instruction and recording
each byte before the actual opcode, we can represent the path we took to get to
the actual opcode byte by using a type code. That has a couple of advantages.
First, we can disambiguate the properties of opcodes of the same length which
have different properties. Second, it reduces the amount of data stored in an
ExtMachInst, making them slightly easier/faster to create and process. This
also adds some flexibility as far as how different types of opcodes are
handled, which might come in handy if we decide to support VEX or XOP
instructions.
This change also adds tables to support properly decoding 3 byte opcodes.
Before we would fall off the end of some arrays, on top of the ambiguity
described above.
This change doesn't measureably affect performance on the twolf benchmark.

This interface is no longer used, and getting rid of it simplifies the
decoders and code that sets up the decoders. The thread context had been used
to read architectural state which was used to contextualize the instruction
memory as it came in. That was changed so that the state is now sent to the
decoders to keep locally if/when it changes. That's significantly more
efficient.

The predecoder in x86 does a lot of work, most of which can be skipped if the
decoder cache is put in front of it.

This will allow it to be specialized by the ISAs. The existing caching scheme
