However, because of various SimObject-valued proxy parameters,

mips: Floating point convert bug fix
In mips architecture, floating point convert instructions use the
FloatConvertOp format defined in src/arch/mips/isa/formats/fp.isa. The type
of the operands in the ISA description file (_sw for signed word, or _sf for
signed float, etc.) is used to create a type for the operand in C++. Then the
operand is converted using the fpConvert() function in src/arch/mips/utility.cc.
If we are converting from a word to a float, and we want to convert 0xffffffff,
we expect -1 to be passed into fpConvert(). Instead, we see MAX_INT passed in.
Then fpConvert() converts _val_ to MAX_INT in single-precision floating point,
and we get the wrong value.
To fix it, the signs of the convert operands are being changed from unsigned to
signed in the MIPS ISA description.
Then, the FloatConvertOp format is being changed to insert a int32_t into the
C++ code instead of a uint32_t.

cpu: Put in assertions to check for maximum supported LQ/SQ size
LSQSenderState represents the LQ/SQ index using uint8_t, which supports up to
256 entries (including the sentinel entry). Sending packets to memory with a
higher index than 255 truncates the index, such that the response matches the
wrong entry. For instance, this can result in a deadlock if a store completion
does not clear the head entry.

cpu: Fix O3 uncacheable load that is replayed but misses the TLB
This change fixes an issue in the O3 CPU where an uncachable instruction
is attempted to be executed before it reaches the head of the ROB. It is
determined to be uncacheable, and is replayed, but a PanicFault is attached
to the instruction to make sure that it is properly executed before
committing. If the TLB entry it was using is replaced in the interveaning
time, the TLB returns a delayed translation when the load is replayed at
the head of the ROB, however the LSQ code can't differntiate between the
old fault and the new one. If the translation isn't complete it can't
be faulting, so clear the fault.

ruby: eliminate non-determinism from ruby.stats output
Get rid of non-deterministic "stats" in ruby.stats output
such as time & date of run, elapsed & CPU time used,

they don't affect regressions, since the regressions
pass/fail status currently ignores ruby.stats entirely).
Most of this information is already captured in other
places (time & date in stdout, elapsed time & mem usage
in stats.txt), where the regression script is smart
enough to filter it out. It seems easier to get rid of
the redundant output rather than teaching the
regression tester to ignore the same information in

cpu/o3: clean up rename map and free list
Restructured rename map and free list to clean up some
extraneous code and separate out common code that can
be reused across different register classes (int and fp

of Simple* objects that are stand-alone rename map &
free list for each class, plus a Unified* object that
presents a unified interface across all register
classes and then redirects accesses to the appropriate
Simple* object as needed.
Moved free list initialization to PhysRegFile to better
isolate knowledge of physical register index mappings
to that class (and remove the need to pass a number
of parameters to the free list constructor).
Causes a small change to these stats:
cpu.rename.int_rename_lookups
cpu.rename.fp_rename_lookups

rather than a per-instruction basis.
That is, an instruction with mixed fp/int/misc operand
types will have each operand categorized independently,
where previously the lookup was categorized based on
the instruction type.
