2012-12-11	ruby: change slicc to allow for constructor args	Nilay Vaish
	The patch adds support to slicc for recognizing arguments that should be passed to the constructor of a class. I did not like the fact that an explicit check was being carried on the type 'TBETable' to figure out the arguments to be passed to the constructor. The patch also moves some of the member variables that are declared for all the controllers to the base class AbstractController.

	I don't like using the word hack. Hence, the patch.
2011-07-03	Network_test: Conform it with functional access changes in Ruby	Nilay Vaish
	Addition of functional access support to Ruby necessitated some changes to the way coherence protocols are written. I had forgotten to update the Network_test protocol. This patch makes those updates.
2011-06-08	Ruby: Correctly set access permissions for directory entries	Nilay Vaish
	The access permissions for the directory entries are not being set correctly. This is because pointers are not used for handling directory entries. function. get and set functions for access permissions have been added to the Controller state machine. The changePermission() function provided by the AbstractEntry and AbstractCacheEntry classes has been exposed to SLICC code once again. The set_permission() functionality has been removed. NOTE: Each protocol will have to define these get and set functions in order to compile successfully.
2011-05-18	slicc: added vnet_type field to identify response vnets from others	Tushar Krishna
	Identifying response vnets versus other vnets will allow garnet to determine which vnets will carry data packets, and which will carry ctrl packets, and use appropriate buffer sizes (since data packets are larger than ctrl packets). This in turn allows the orion power model to accurately estimate buffer power.
2011-03-22	Ruby: Remove CacheMsg class from SLICC	Nilay Vaish
	The goal of the patch is to do away with the CacheMsg class currently in use in coherence protocols. In place of CacheMsg, the RubyRequest class will used. This class is already present in slicc_interface/RubyRequest.hh. In fact, objects of class CacheMsg are generated by copying values from a RubyRequest object.
2011-03-21	This patch adds the network tester for simple and garnet networks.	Tushar Krishna
	The tester code is in testers/networktest. The tester can be invoked by configs/example/ruby_network_test.py. A dummy coherence protocol called Network_test is also addded for network-only simulations and testing. The protocol takes in messages from the tester and just pushes them into the network in the appropriate vnet, without storing any state.
