Change all occurrances of Address as a variable name to instead use Addr.
Address is an allowed name in slicc even when Address is also being used as a
type, leading to declarations of "Address Address". While this works, it
prevents adding another field of type Address because the compiler then thinks
Address is a variable name, not type.

This patch adds support to different entities in the ruby memory system
for more reliable functional read/write accesses. Only the simple network
has been augmented as of now. Later on Garnet will also support functional
accesses.
The patch adds functional access code to all the different types of messages
that protocols can send around. These messages are functionally accessed
by going through the buffers maintained by the network entities.
The patch also rectifies some of the bugs found in coherence protocols while
testing the patch.
With this patch applied, functional writes always succeed. But functional
reads can still fail.

This patch converts AccessModeType to RubyAccessMode so that both the
protocol dependent and independent code uses the same access mode.

This changeset contains a lot of different changes that are too
mingled to separate. They are:
1. Added MOESI_CMP_directory
I made the changes necessary to bring back MOESI_CMP_directory,
including adding a DMA controller. I got rid of MOESI_CMP_directory_m
and made MOESI_CMP_directory use a memory controller. Added a new
configuration for two level protocols in general, and
MOESI_CMP_directory in particular.
2. DMA Sequencer uses a generic SequencerMsg
I will eventually make the cache Sequencer use this type as well. It
doesn't contain an offset field, just a physical address and a length.
MI_example has been updated to deal with this.
3. Parameterized Controllers
SLICC controllers can now take custom parameters to use for mapping,
latencies, etc. Currently, only int parameters are supported.

We eventually plan to replace the m5 cache hierarchy with the GEMS
hierarchy, but for now we will make both live alongside eachother.
