The previous slower ruby latencies created a mismatch between the faster M5
cpu models and the much slower ruby memory system. Specifically smp
interrupts were much slower and infrequent, as well as cpus moving in and out
of spin locks. The result was many cpus were idle for large periods of time.
These changes fix the latency mismatch.

This patch attaches ruby objects to the system before the topology is
created so that their simobject names read their meaningful variable
names instead of their topology name.

This changeset also includes a lot of work from Derek Hower <drh5@cs.wisc.edu>
RubyMemory is now both a driver for Ruby and a port for M5. Changed
makeRequest/hitCallback interface. Brought packets (superficially)
into the sequencer. Modified tester infrastructure to be packet based.
and Ruby can be used together through the example ruby_se.py
script. SPARC parallel applications work, and the timing *seems* right
from combined M5/Ruby debug traces. To run,
% build/ALPHA_SE/m5.debug configs/example/ruby_se.py -c
tests/test-progs/hello/bin/alpha/linux/hello -n 4 -t
