src/mem/packet_queue.cc (lines 138 - 172)
<http://reviews.gem5.org/r/3153/#comment6220>

    This looks complicated and I think we can simplify it.  How about the 
following?  This should include everything from line 138 to 172.
    
    it = list.end(); it--;
    while (it != list.begin())
    {
      if (it->time <= pkt->time())
        || (force_order && it.address == pkt->address))
        insert(); break;
      
    }
