This temporarily drops support for DDIO and the L3 cache.

Update to newer ns-3 version and adapt code for changes (mostly
renamed files and command line parameters) in the ns-3 submodule.

besides main time, print in and out timestamp for the ports' underlying SimBricks interfaces

Add new target `clean-external` to the Makefile, which triggers the
clean task of the respective buid system for each external simulator.
Each simulator can also be cleaned individually by using the targets
`{simulator name}-clean` (e.g. `gem5-clean`).

`make distclean` now actually removes the external simulators

this gets rid of the non-fatal build error 'No names found, cannot describe anything'

Simply installs vanilla simics under sims/external/simics. Because of licensing
restrictions we cannot automatically download simics from the intel page.
Instead the makefile will prompt the user to download to files and add them to
the simics directory.

This commit does not include any simbricks integration at all yet.

The newer linux drivers now use 16b instead of 32b descriptors. So far
this leads to an abort. This adds proper support for 16b descriptors.

Depending on the order some of the constructors get executed, instances of the
logger can end up with a null pointer for the runner. This led to a segfault
when calling TimePs() on that nullptr.

Here we fix this in two steps: first the logger takes a device pointer, which
in turn contains a pointer to the runner that will eventually be initialized.
Also fix up the logger to simply use 0 as a timestamp for log events before the
runner is there.

P4 implementation of memory steering and address translation with the tofino
simulator.

Basic switch simulator that can steer network memory requests to different
network attached memory modules based on a configured address mapping. The
switch also performs address translation.

make lint should pass again now

Empty structs are not standard C and sizeof for them in gcc is zero but for c++
is 1.

(uses SimBricksBaseIfEstablish)

As the python scripts pass the same arguments to both. We had dropped the sync
mode here but not in nicbm. For now just make it consistent
