Exercise cached packet writes, per-line flushes and MMIO doorbells with a dedicated driver and coherent test topology. Split cached return reads, reserve separate payload storage and validate D2H data through simulated-memory readback. Keep the existing MMIO protocol.

The existing direct-memory trace driver does not exercise cached packet writes followed by flushes and an MMIO doorbell. Add DoorbellTestCPU, its coherent memory topology, and focused integration contracts.
The driver issues cache-line-bounded requests, reassembles return packets, reserves payload storage beyond both packet layouts, and verifies D2H bytes by reading simulated destination memory. This layer works with the existing MMIO implementation; it does not require the optional compact protocol or retained simulator-side D2H buffers.
Validation:
Incremental review PR in the contributor fork, based on
balar-2-test-support. Upstream branch protection prevents feature-branch bases there. After the preceding layer lands upstream, submit this branch againstsstsimulator/sst-elements:devel; retain this fork PR as its incremental review record.Stack (review order):
