In Ruby, for every directory we create one memory controller for every
range in the memory ranges. Previously the memory controllers and the
directories created their address ranges independently and as a result
a mismatch was possible. In fact, we assinged an interleaved address
range with hasing for the memory controllers while the corresponding
directories would be assigned the same interleaved address range
without hashing.
This change uses the address range of the memory controllers to
populate the list of address ranges for the corresponding directory
and avoid bugs due to code duplication.

Prior to this changeset the bootloader rom (instantiated as a
SimpleMemory) in ruby Arm systems was treated as an IO device and it
was fronted by a DMA controller. This changeset moves the bootloader
rom and adds it to the system as another memory with a dedicated
directory controller.

Previously the directory covered a flat address range that always
started from address 0. This change adds a vector of address ranges
with interleaving and hashing that each directory keeps track of and
the necessary flexibility to support systems with non continuous
memory ranges.

This patch allows the ruby random tester to use ruby ports that may only
support instr or data requests. This patch is similar to a previous changeset
(8932:1b2c17565ac8) that was unfortunately broken by subsequent changesets.
This current patch implements the support in a more straight-forward way.
Since retries are now tested when running the ruby random tester, this patch
splits up the retry and drain check behavior so that RubyPort children, such
as the GPUCoalescer, can perform those operations correctly without having to
duplicate code. Finally, the patch also includes better DPRINTFs for
debugging the tester.

The default value for number of virtual networks is being removed. Each protocol
should now specify the value it needs.

The RubyCache (CacheMemory) latency parameter is only used for top-level caches
instantiated for Ruby coherence protocols. However, the top-level cache hit
latency is assessed by the Sequencer as accesses flow through to the cache
hierarchy. Further, protocol state machines should be enforcing these cache hit
latencies, but RubyCaches do not expose their latency to any existng state
machines through the SLICC/C++ interface. Thus, the RubyCache latency parameter
is superfluous for all caches. This is confusing for users.
As a step toward pushing L0/L1 cache hit latency into the top-level cache
controllers, move their latencies out of the RubyCache declarations and over to
their Sequencers. Eventually, these Sequencer parameters should be exposed as
parameters to the top-level cache controllers, which should assess the latency.
NOTE: Assessing these latencies in the cache controllers will require modifying
each to eliminate instantaneous Ruby hit callbacks in transitions that finish
accesses, which is likely a large undertaking.

Mwait works as follows:
1. A cpu monitors an address of interest (monitor instruction)
2. A cpu calls mwait - this loads the cache line into that cpu's cache.
3. The cpu goes to sleep.
4. When another processor requests write permission for the line, it is
evicted from the sleeping cpu's cache. This eviction is forwarded to the
sleeping cpu, which then wakes up.

This patch is the final in the series. The whole series and this patch in
particular were written with the aim of interfacing ruby's directory controller
with the memory controller in the classic memory system. This is being done
since ruby's memory controller has not being kept up to date with the changes
going on in DRAMs. Classic's memory controller is more up to date and
supports multiple different types of DRAM. This also brings classic and
ruby ever more close. The patch also changes ruby's memory controller to
expose the same interface.

Both ruby and the system used to maintain memory copies. With the changes
carried for programmed io accesses, only one single memory is required for
fs simulations. This patch sets the copy of memory that used to reside
with the system to null, so that no space is allocated, but address checks
can still be carried out. All the memory accesses now source and sink values
to the memory maintained by ruby.

This patch is the final patch in a series of patches. The aim of the series
is to make ruby more configurable than it was. More specifically, the
connections between controllers are not at all possible (unless one is ready
to make significant changes to the coherence protocol). Moreover the buffers
themselves are magically connected to the network inside the slicc code.
These connections are not part of the configuration file.
This patch makes changes so that these connections will now be made in the
python configuration files associated with the protocols. This requires
each state machine to expose the message buffers it uses for input and output.
So, the patch makes these buffers configurable members of the machines.
The patch drops the slicc code that usd to connect these buffers to the
network. Now these buffers are exposed to the python configuration system
as Master and Slave ports. In the configuration files, any master port
can be connected any slave port. The file pyobject.cc has been modified to
take care of allocating the actual message buffer. This is inline with how
other port connections work.

This patch fixes scripts related to ruby by adding the ruby clock domain.
Now the L1 controllers and the Sequencer shares the cpu clock domain,
while the rest of the components use the ruby clock domain.
Before this patch, running simulations with the cpu clock set at 2GHz or
1GHz will output the same time results and could distort power measurements.

This patch removes the piobus from the protocol config files. The ports
are now connected to the piobus in the Ruby.py file.

Currently, the interrupt controller in x86 is connected to the io bus
directly. Therefore the packets between the io devices and the interrupt
controller do not go through ruby. This patch changes ruby port so that
these packets arrive at the ruby port first, which then routes them to their
destination. Note that the patch does not make these packets go through the
ruby network. That would happen in a subsequent patch.

This is because the next patch introduces a three level hierarchy.
