Move the transfer logic, including the 2d module, into its own sub-module.
This allows testing of the full transfer logic independently of the
register map logic.
The top-level module now only instantiates the register map and transfer
module, but does not have any logic on its own.

The timing exceptions for the debug paths are currently a bit to broad and
can include paths that should not have an exception.
All the debug signals are coming from the i_request_arb instance, so
include that in the match to avoid false positives.
For most projects this wont have been a problem since there is usually a
fair amount of slack on the paths that were affected by this. But in
projects with high utilization this might result in undefined behavior.

This reverts commit 4b1d9fc86b "axi_dmac: Modified in order to avoid
vivado crash".
Vivado no longer crashes and this structure is much more efficient when it
comes to resource usage and timing. The intention here is to create a 1-bit
memory that is N entries deep and not a N bit signal.

The burst_count signal and its derived signals are not used until the
burst_count has been explicitly initialized by loading a transfer. There is
no need to have a reset.

Xilinx tools don't allow to use $clog2() when computing the value of a
localparam, even though it is valid Verilog.
For this reason a parameter was used for BYTES_PER_BURST_WIDTH so far. But
that generates warnings from both Quartus and Vivado since the parameter is
not part of the parameter list.
Fix this by changing it to a localparam and computing the log2() manually.
The upper limit for the burst length is known to be 4k, so values larger
than that don't have to be supported.

A larger store-and-forward memory provides better protection against worst
case memory interface latencies by being able to store more data before
over-/underflowing.
Based on empirical testing it was found that using a size of 4 bursts can
still result in underflows/overflows under certain conditions. These do not
happen when using a size of 8 bursts.
This change does not significantly increase resource consumption. Both on
Intel and Xilinx the block RAM has a minimum depth of 512 entries. With a
default burst length of 16 beats that allows for up to 32 bursts without
requiring additional block RAM.

The label for the store-and-forward memory size configuration option at the
moment is just "FIFO Size" and while the store-and-forward memory uses a
FIFO that is just a implementation detail.
Change the label to "Store-and-Forward Memory Size". This is more
descriptive as it references the function not the implementation.

For correct operation the store-and-forward memory size must be a
power-of-two in the range of 2 to 32.
This is simple enough so we can list all values and let the IP Integrator
and QSYS perform proper validation of the parameter.

When the source and destination bus widths don't match a resize block is
inserted on the side of the narrower bus. This resize block can contain
partial data.
To ensure that there is no residual partial data is left in the resize
block after a transfer shutdown the resize block is reset when the DMA is
disabled.
Currently this is implemented by tying the reset signal of the resize block
to the enable signal of the DMA. This enable signal is only a indicator
though that the DMA should shutdown. For a proper shutdown outstanding
transactions still need to be completed.
The data that is in the resize block might be required to complete those
transactions. So performing the reset when the enable signal goes low can
lead to a situation where the DMA tries to complete a transaction but can't
do it because the data required to do so has been erased by resetting the
resize block. This leads to a dead lock and the system has to be rebooted
to recover from it.
To solve this use the sync_id signal to reset the resize block. The sync_id
signal will only be asserted when both the destination and source side
module have indicated that they are ready to be reset and there are no more
pending transactions.

The MAX_BYTES_PER_BURST option allows to configure the maximum bytes that
are part of a burst. This can be an arbitrary value.
At the same time there is a limit of how many bytes can be supported by the
memory buses. A AXI3 interface supports a maximum of 16 beats per burst
and a AXI4 interface supports a maximum of 256 beats per burst.
At the moment the it is possible to specify a MAX_BYTES_PER_BURST value
that exceeds what can be supported by the AXI memory-mapped bus. If that is
the case undefined behavior will occur and the DMAC will function
incorrectly.
To avoid this make sure that the MAX_BYTES_PER_BURST value does not exceed
the maximum that can be supported by the interfaces.

The width of the AXI burst length field depends on the AXI standard
version. For AXI3 the width is 4 bits allowing a maximum burst length of 16
beats, for AXI4 it is 8 bits wide allowing a maximum burst length of 256
beats.
At the moment the width of the length signals are determined by type of the
source AXI interface, even if the source interface type is not AXI. This
means if the source interface is set to AXI3 and the destination interface
is set to AXI4 the internal width of the signal for all interfaces will be
4 bits. This leads to a truncation of the destination bus length field,
which is supposed to be 8 bits.
If burst are generated that are longer than 16 beats the upper bits of the
length signal will be truncated. The result of this will be that the
external AXI slave interface (e.g. the DDR memory) and the internal logic
in the DMA disagree about burst length. The DMA will eventually lock up
when its internal buffers are full.
To avoid this issue have different configuration parameters for the source
and destination interface that configure the AXI bus length field width.
This way one of the interfaces can be configured for AXI3 and the other for
AXI4 without interfering with each other.

When the DMAC is used in async clock domains the data FIFO instantiate
an ad_mem component to handle properly the clock crossing.
For Intel, this mode is used only in FMCJESDADC1 designs but without this
an error could appear in other projects too if the user reconfigures the core.
The set_false_path constraint targeted to the *ram* cells of the dmac
matched several intra clock domain paths where the timing analysis got
ignored resulting in intermitent data integrity issues.
Exposed AXI3 interface on the Intel version of the IP for UI and feature consistency.
Some of the signals that are defined as optional in the AMBA standard
are marked as mandatory in Qsys in case of AXI3. Because of this such signals
were added to the interface of the DMAC and driven with default values.
For Xilinx in order to keep existing behavior the newly added signals
are hidden from the interface.
New parameters are added to define the width of the AXI transaction IDs;
these are hidden from the UI; We can add them to the UI if the fixed size
of the IDs will cause port incompatibility issues.
The primary use-case of the DMA controller is in non-2D mode. Make this the
default, since allows projects to instantiate the controller with the
default configuration without having to explicitly disable 2D support.

Currently the individual IP core dependencies are tracked inside the
library Makefile for Xilinx IPs and the project Makefiles only reference
the IP cores.
For Altera on the other hand the individual dependencies are tracked inside
the project Makefile. This leads to a lot of duplicated lists and also
means that the project Makefiles need to be regenerated when one of the IP
cores changes their files.
Change the Altera projects to a similar scheme than the Xilinx projects.
The projects themselves only reference the library as a whole as their
dependency while the library Makefile references the individual source
dependencies.
Since on Altera there is no target that has to be generated create a dummy
target called ".timestamp_altera" who's only purpose is to have a timestamp
that is greater or equal to the timestamp of all of the IP core files. This
means the project Makefile can have a dependency on this file and make sure
that the project will be rebuild if any of the files in the library
changes.
This patch contains quite a bit of churn, but hopefully it reduces the
amount of churn in the future when modifying Altera IP cores.

Bundle the TLAST signal in with the other AXIS slave signals to enable

Add some limit TLAST support for the streaming AXI source interface. An
asserted TLAST signal marks the end of a packet and the following data beat
is the first beat for the next packet.
Currently the DMAC does not support for completing a transfer before all
requested bytes have been transferred. So the way this limited TLAST
support is implemented is by filling the remainder of the buffer with 0x00.
While the DMAC is busy filling the buffer with zeros back-pressure is
asserted on the external streaming AXI interface by keeping TREADY
de-asserted.
The end of a buffer is marked by a transfer that has the last bit set in
the FLAGS control register.
In the future we might add support for transfer completion before all
requested bytes have been transferred.

The commit 6900c have added an additional register stage into the fifo read
data path, but the control signals (ready/valid/underflow) were not realigned
to the data. This can cause data lose or duplicated samples in some case.
Realign the control signals to the data.
The first attempt (f3daf0) faild miserably. When the data_req signal
from the device had more than 1 cycle of deassert state, because of the
added latency of the data stream, the device got 'zeros' too.
In this fix, the DMA will hold the valid data on the bus, between two
consecutive data request. The bus is reseted just after all the data
were sent out.
Reset the fifo_rd_data if the DMA does not have an active transfer.
Becasue all the DAC device cores are transfering the data from the FIFO
interface to the data interface without any validation signal, DMA needs to put
the data bus into a known state, to prevent the device core to send the
last known data again and again.
The current layout of the debug ID register assumes that the ID_WIDTH is 3.
Change things so that the padding 0 width depends on the ID_WIDTH
parameter so that we end up with the same register layout regardless of the
value of ID_WIDTH.
Also split things into two registers, this allows for an ID_WIDTH up to 8
(which should hopefully be enough for all practical applications).

The AXI specification that the minimum address space size is 4k, make sure
the axi_dmac adheres to this.
Internally the register space is still 2k. This means the upper and lower
2k of the axi4lite register space will map to the same internal registers.
Software must not rely on this and only access the lower 2k to enable
compatibility in case the internal space grows in the future.
