An example case,
```python
mem_side_port = RequestPort(
"This port sends requests and " "receives responses"
)
```
This is the residue of running the python formatter.
This is done by finding all tokens matching the regex `"\s"(?![.;"])`
and manually replacing them by empty strings.

This change primarily splits the dram and nvm interfaces
into separate files. And also updates the interfaces so that
they can be handled in a more general way by the controller.
For example, both interfaces now override a virtual isBusy()
function defined in the mem_interface.

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.

We are adding a controller method to MemInterface objects making
them able to generate the appropriate memory controller.
This will bring the following benefits
a) Semplification: It will simplify MemConfig.config_mem
b) Reusability: Scripts not using config_mem
won't have to duplicate the if...else checks
c) Modularity: Users will be able to define their own
dram interfaces without needing to handle the mem_ctrl
mapping in the shared MemConfig.py module

We currently use the traditional SI-like prefixes for to represent
binary multipliers in some contexts. This is ambiguous in many cases
since they overload the meaning of the SI prefix.
Here are some examples of commonly used in the industry:
* Storage vendors define 1 MB as 10**6 bytes
* Memory vendors define 1 MB as 2**20 bytes
* Network equipment treats 1Mbit/s as 10**6 bits/s
* Memory vendors define 1Mbit as 2**20 bits
In practice, this means that a FLASH chip on a storage bus uses
decimal prefixes, but that same flash chip on a memory bus uses binary
prefixes. It would also be reasonable to assume that the contents of a
1Mbit FLASH chip would take 0.1s to transfer over a 10Mbit Ethernet
link. That's however not the case due to different meanings of the
prefix.
The quantity 2MX is treated differently by gem5 depending on the unit
X:
* Physical quantities (s, Hz, V, A, J, K, C, F) use decimal prefixes.
* Interconnect and NoC bandwidths (B/s) use binary prefixes.
* Network bandwidths (bps) use decimal prefixes.
* Memory sizes and storage sizes (B) use binary prefixes.
Mitigate this ambiguity by consistently using the ISO/IEC/SI prefixes
for binary multipliers for parameters and comments where appropriate.

Make the actual controller more generic
- Rename DRAMCtrl to MemCtrl
- Rename DRAMacket to MemPacket
- Rename dram_ctrl.cc to mem_ctrl.cc
- Rename dram_ctrl.hh to mem_ctrl.hh
- Create MemCtrl debug flag
Move the memory interface classes/functions to separate files
- mem_interface.cc
- mem_interface.hh

Add NVM interface to memory controller.
This can be used with or instead of the existing
DRAM interface. Therefore, a single controller can interface
to either DRAM or NVM, or both.
Specifically, a memory channel can be configured as:
- Memory controller interfacing to DRAM only
- Memory controller interfacing to NVM only
- Memory controller interfacing to both DRAM and NVM
How data is placed or migrated between media types is outside
of the scope of this change.
The NVM interface incorporates new static delay parameters
for read and write completion. The interface defines a 2
stage read to manage non-deterministic read delays while
enabling deterministic data transfer, similar to NVDIMM-P.
The NVM interface also includes parameters to define
read and write buffers on the media side (on-DIMM). These are
utilized to quickly offload commands and write data, mitigating
the effects of lower latency and bandwidth media characteristics.

Made DRAMCtrl a ClockedObject, with DRAMInterface
defined as an AbstractMemory. The address
ranges are now defined per interface. Currently
the model only includes a DRAMInterface but this
can be expanded for other media types.
The controller object includes a parameter to the
interface, which is setup when gem5 is configured.
