Hi Andreas. I'm wondering why this patch was checked in 
(http://repo.gem5.org/gem5/rev/842f56345a42). It doesn't have a 'Ship It', and 
the review request is only 4 days old.

This change also breaks some packet use cases we have in gem5-gpu. 
Specifically, this change now requires that Requests be translated or otherwise 
find a valid physical address before a packet can be constructed. I'm not 
convinced that this is a reasonable requirement, especially since packets can 
be used between components that operate completely on virtual addresses.

Can you please revert this change?
