mem: Co-ordination of CMOs in the xbar
A clean packet request serving a cache maintenance operation (CMO)
visits all memories down to the specified xbar. The visited caches
invalidate their copy (if the CMO is invalidating) and if a dirty copy
is found a write packet writes the dirty data to the memory level
below the specified xbar. A response is send back when all the caches
are clean and/or invalidated and the specified xbar has seen the write
packet.
This patch adds the following functionality in the xbar:
1) Accounts for the cache clean requests that go through the xbar
2) Generates the cache clean response when both the cache clean
request and the corresponding writeclean packet has crossed the
destination xbar.
Previously transactions in the xbar were identified using the pointer
of the original request. Cache clean transactions comprise of two
different packets, the clean request and the writeclean, and therefore
have different request pointers. This patch adds support for custom
transaction IDs that by default take the value of the request pointer
but can be overriden by the contructor. This allows the clean request
and writeclean share the same id which the coherent xbar uses to
co-ordinate them and send the response in a timely manner.
