That seems to fix the segfault problem, based on my testing thus far.
I seem to have run across another obscure bug as well:

I was running dedup, from PARSEC, using the kernel and compiled binaries
that are provided.
Prior to that one I ran into a bug in the simulated program (same
simulator run, first attempt at running dedup):
[HOOKS] Entering ROI
*** glibc detected *** ./dedup: corrupted double-linked list:
0x00000200185351a0 ***
I don't think these are related to the 3-level cache setup, but I can't
be sure. We're still using PhysicalMemory also.

Yea, that even looks familiar... I feel like I've fixed this once
already, but obviously if I did it didn't get checked in. I think
just changing this conditional to:
if (prefetcher&& !mshrQueue.isFull()) {
should take care of it. Let me know either way, and if it does I'll
commit the fix.

Hello,
We've modified the cache hierarchy to include private L1, private L2 and a
shared L3 cache, but we get a segfault when running certain PARSEC
workloads. The prefetcher value is NULL, as we have it turned off because
the prefetcher is causing problems lately. Specifically, the problem is at:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I think the problem is in cache_impl.hh at line 1305:
PacketPtr pkt = prefetcher->getPacket();
Other points in the cache always have a conditional "if (prefetcher)" before
they access it, but not at this point. Hopefully this is the only problem
and is easily fixed.
