sim: simulate with multiple threads and event queues
This patch adds support for simulating with multiple threads, each of
which operates on an event queue. Each sim object specifies which eventq
is would like to be on. A custom barrier implementation is being added
using which eventqs synchronize.
The patch was tested in two different configurations:
1. ruby_network_test.py: in this simulation L1 cache controllers receive
requests from the cpu. The requests are replied to immediately without
any communication taking place with any other level.
2. twosys-tsunami-simple-atomic: this configuration simulates a client-server
system which are connected by an ethernet link.
We still lack the ability to communicate using message buffers or ports. But
other things like simulation start and end, synchronizing after every quantum

arch: Add support for m5ops using mmapped IPRs
In order to support m5ops on virtualized CPUs, we need to either

to userspace, which makes that method unfeasible. This changeset
introduces support for m5ops using memory mapped mmapped IPRs. This is
implemented by adding a class of "generic" IPRs which are handled by
architecture-independent code. Such IPRs always have bit 63 set and
are handled by handleGenericIprRead() and
handleGenericIprWrite(). Platform specific impementations of
handleIprRead and handleIprWrite should use
GenericISA::isGenericIprAccess to determine if an IPR address should
be handled by the generic code instead of the architecture-specific
code. Platforms that don't need their own IPR support can reuse
GenericISA::handleIprRead() and GenericISA::handleIprWrite().

x86: Add support for loading 32-bit and 80-bit floats in the x87
The x87 FPU supports three floating point formats: 32-bit, 64-bit, and

64-bit floats, but only works correctly for 64-bit floats. This
changeset fixes the 32-bit float handling by correctly loading and
rounding (using truncation) 32-bit floats instead of simply truncating
the bit pattern.
80-bit floats are loaded by first loading the 80-bits of the float to
two temporary integer registers. A micro-op (cvtint_fp80) then
converts the contents of the two integer registers to the internal FP
representation (double). Similarly, when storing an 80-bit float,
there are two conversion routines (ctvfp80h_int and cvtfp80l_int) that
convert an internal FP register to 80-bit and stores the upper 64-bits
or lower 32-bits to an integer register, which is the written to
memory using normal integer stores.

the store fails. This changeset introduces a pop87 micro-instruction
that pops the stack and uses this instruction in the affected
macro-instructions to pop the stack after storing the value to memory.
