David Anderson b46d70fa07 vram/VRAMCore: cycle using prime numbers in tests
VRAMs are powers of two, so if memory wiring is wrong and we end up
with ram blocks mirrored at several points in the address space, we
want a write pattern that doesn't repeat cleanly on power of two
blocks. That way, a mirrored memory block cannot contain values that
are valid for all its locations.

David Anderson 79b54ca86f vram/MemArbiter: add a granted_port method to make downstream wiring easier
To implement the mux tree that feeds into RAM ports, we need to know the
port index of the grantee to be able to wire it up. In theory we could
dispense with the per-port grant signal, but keeping it around allows
each client to deal with local concerns separate from the port routing.

I'm not quite ready to define top-levels yet, and having this incomplete
code here makes 'inv build .' fail.

David Anderson e5aabcbf4a vram/MemArbiter: remove unnecessary wires and fields
While iterating many redundant bits were added. This removes them again,
keeping just (I think) the minimum necessary for the arbitrators to work.

David Anderson 519eddc552 vram/MemArbiter: fix bug with write conflict avoidance
Now that all arbiter ports can request to write, arbitration must check
both (write, read) and (read, write) conflicts, not just (write, read).

David Anderson f31f64f5a2 vram: refactor MemArbiter into separate arbiters
Rather than hardcode one architecture for GARY, the arbiters
are now split and can be allocated per-port. The arbiter interface
includes plumbing so that one arbiter can propagate a write conflict
to another, so it can still implement multi-port arbitration as long
as every client is statically allocated to one port.

Well, for now at least. It can build 112KiB and 128KiB memories that
seem to synthesize to something reasonable.

David Anderson 77b772c7ee tasks.py: improve handling of Bluespec libdirs
To help divvy up the sources better, the build now makes a libpath
consisting of all directories that have bsv files in them, with a few
exceptions: hardware subdirs are target-specific so only get used if
they're the current build target. Experiments are random crap so get
the same treatment. And the 'sim' dir is only test helpers, so they
only get pulled in by tests.

David Anderson 6fd040565c Grab the inout port fixer from bsc tree, wire it in
Yosys doesn't understand Verilog-2001 port aliases. Unfortunately
bsc uses those to represent inout ports because it's the only way
to represent a particular kind of shared bus in Verilog source code.

Thankfully, a kind soul at Bluespec Inc made a perl script that
transforms the port alias construct into regular verilog-1995, which
works fine in cases like mine where the only user of the inout port
is a TriState module which tears it apart into separate
input/output/enable signals for the rest of bsc to work with.
