ruby: allow restoring from checkpoint when using DRAMCtrl

Restoring from a checkpoint with ruby + the DRAMCtrl memory model was not
working, because ruby and DRAMCtrl disagreed on the current tick during warmup.
Since there is no reason to do timing requests during warmup, use functional
requests instead.
