MEM: Add a snooping DMA port subclass for table walker This patch makes the (device) DmaPort non-snooping and removes the recvSnoop constructor parameter and instead introduces a SnoopingDmaPort subclass for the ARM table walker. Functionality is unchanged, as are the stats, and the patch merely clarifies that the normal DMA ports are not snooping (although they may issue requests that are snooped by others, as done with PCI, PCIe, AMBA4 ACE etc). Currently this port is declared in the ARM table walker as it is not used anywhere else. If other ports were to have similar behaviour it could be moved in a future patch.
util/regress all passing (disregarding t1000 and eio)

This is slightly unrelated. Why does a page table walker needs a dma port?
Ship It!
