854e8e5bfb Another experiment to see if we can resolve the vcu118 build.
This one puts the in-order shim before the width converter.

f86ea0203d Potential workaround for issue with vcu118 memory bus error.
Just use the same ID for all outstanding requests such that all requests
are in-order.
Previously we were working fine with requests serialised; requests
are now fully pipelined and out-of-order.
This change should roll back to in-order, but still pipelined.
This only affects the top-level used in the GFE (vcu118).
This design is working on the DE10 setup, so the issue is not
believed fundamental with CoreW.

271bc9c0e8 Experimentally remove deburster.
This thing has a seraliser in it that serialises memory accesses, which
is a disaster for performance.

6838b02274 Move to 4-way L1 caches to reduce area usage of splitting data ways into

b65994c00c Include the new single-cycle CCPipe as a seperate implementation, and
use it only in the L1 caches so that the L2 cache can have lower
resource utilisation and better timing.  (Resource utilisation is up
about 5% with the new design, and it's not necessary for the L2 cache.)

ccc71952bf Use forwarding BRAMs in L2 Cache. Duh; this is required for the new
CCPipe structure.

2d05514b66 An experimental simplification of the SplitLSQ, which I think works
because the Memory pipeline only ever reads the getIssueLd interface in
the same rule that it calls issueLd.

This includes the changes to add wrappers for the delay shim. Unfortunately,
these are not directly suitable for the VCU118 setup since the uncached bus
needs to configure either itself or the cached bus, so leave those as is for
now
