This patch was created by Bihn Pham during his internship at AMD. This patch fixes a very significant performance bug when using the O3 CPU model and Ruby. The issue was Ruby returned false when it received a request to the same address that already has an outstanding request or when the memory is blocked. As a result, O3 unnecessary squashed the pipeline and re-executed instructions. This fix merges readRequestTable and writeRequestTable in Sequencer into a single request table that keeps track of all requests and allows multiple outstanding requests to the same address. This prevents O3 from squashing the pipeline.
