Add a 64-bit HBM3 channel model sized and clocked for the public MI300X memory organization. The interface is intended to be paired by HBMCtrl, giving 128 modeled x64 channels across eight stacks.

Use the public AMD MI300X capacity, interface-width, and transfer-rate data. For timings not published by AMD, derive conservative values from the Ramulator 2.1.0 HBM3_16Gb_8hi and HBM3_6400Mbps presets, scaling command timings to the slower MI300X command clock.

Unlike the generic HBM3 preset in gem5#3271 this interface is parameterized for MI300X’s existing HBMCtrl topology: eight controllers pair sixteen x64 interfaces per stack. Its capacity and burst timing reproduce 24 GB and approximately 665 GB/s per stack, or 192 GB and 5.3 TB/s across the package.

This commit fixes the instruction execution latency of LDS instructions
based on what microbenchmarks suggest
The LDS uses 4 byte wide banks in most GPUs. This requires each 4B
address to map to a bank. The previous model mapped each byte to a bank
and introduced several bank conflicts. This commit fixes the bank
mapping to map each 4B word to an LDS bank

Previously, the LDS model assumed each instruction has the same bus data
transfer costs. This commit updates that to use the instruction dword
length instead

Previously, `GlobalMemPipeline::getNextReadyResp` only checked the
absolute oldest request in the entire ComputeUnit. If this single
request was incomplete, it blocked all subsequent completed requests
from being processed, degrading global memory pipeline performance.

This commit updates the response selection logic to pick the oldest
completed request on a per-wavefront basis.

This prevents a single stalled wavefront from starving the entire CU,
improving overall global memory pipeline throughput.

Introduce separate fabric_clk and memory_clk for the GPUFS,
replacing the single ruby_clock domain.

Previously, gpu clock was not applied to the model

where gem5 cannot directly represent HBM3 hierarchy or fractional command
cycles.
