Mahmoud Mandour c79a2116af plugins/cache: supported multicore cache modelling
Multicore L1 cache modelling is introduced and is supported for both
full system emulation and linux-user.

For full-system emulation, L1 icache and dcache are maintained for each
available core, since this information is exposed to the plugin through
`qemu_plugin_n_vcpus()`.

For linux-user, a static number of cores is assumed (default 1 core, and
can be provided as a plugin argument `cores=N`). Every memory access
goes through one of these caches, this approach is taken as it's
somewhat akin to what happens on real setup, where a program that
dispatches more threads than the available cores, they'll thrash
each other

* A CacheSet is a set of cache blocks. A memory block that maps to a set can be
* put in any of the blocks inside the set. The number of block per set is
* called the associativity (assoc).
*
* Each block contains the the stored tag and a valid bit. Since this is not
* a functional simulator, the data itself is not stored. We only identify
* whether a block is in the cache or not by searching for its tag.
*
* In order to search for memory data in the cache, the set identifier and tag
* are extracted from the address and the set is probed to see whether a tag
* match occur.
*
* An address is logically divided into three portions: The block offset,
* the set number, and the tag.
*
* The set number is used to identify the set in which the block may exist.
* The tag is compared against all the tags of a set to search for a match. If a
* match is found, then the access is a hit.
*
* The CacheSet also contains bookkeaping information about eviction details.
