This patch adds basic functionality to quickly visualise the output
from the DRAM efficiency script. There are some unfortunate hacks
needed to communicate the needed information from one script to the
other, and we fall back on (ab)using the simout to do this.
As part of this patch we also trim the efficiency sweep to stop at 512
bytes as this should be sufficient for all forseeable DRAMs.

This patch bumps the bus clock speed such that the interconnect does
not become a bottleneck with a DDR4-2400-x64 DRAM delivering 19.2
GByte/s theoretical max.

This patch renames the not-so-simple SimpleDRAM to a more suitable
DRAMCtrl. The name change is intended to ensure that we do not send
the wrong message (although the "simple" in SimpleDRAM was originally
intended as in cleverly simple, or elegant).
As the DRAM controller modelling work is being presented at ISPASS'14
our hope is that a broader audience will use the model in the future.

rename : src/mem/SimpleDRAM.py => src/mem/DRAMCtrl.py
rename : src/mem/simple_dram.cc => src/mem/dram_ctrl.cc
rename : src/mem/simple_dram.hh => src/mem/dram_ctrl.hh

This patch adds a configuration that simplifies evaluation of DRAM
controller configurations by automating a sweep of stride size and
bank parallelism. It works in a rather unconventional way, as it needs
to print the traffic generator stimuli based on the memory
organisation. Hence, it starts by configuring the memory, then it
prints a traffic-generator config file, and loads it.
The resulting stats have one period per data point, identified by the
stride size, and the number of banks being used.
