This patch eliminates the type Address defined by the ruby memory system.
This memory system would now use the type Addr that is in use by the
rest of the system.
|
|
Avoid clash between type Addr and variable name Addr.
|
|
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.

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