	The patch started of with replacing Time with Cycles in the Consumer class. But to get ruby to compile, the rest of the changes had to be carried out. Subsequent patches will further this process, till we completely replace Time with Cycles.

	Many Ruby structures inherit from the Consumer, which is used for scheduling events. The Consumer used to relay on an Event Manager for scheduling events and on g_system_ptr for time. With this patch, the Consumer will now use a ClockedObject to schedule events and to query for current time. This resulted in several structures being converted from SimObjects to ClockedObjects. Also, the MessageBuffer class now requires a pointer to a ClockedObject so as to query for time.
2012-09-18	ruby: avoid using g_system_ptr for event scheduling	Nilay Vaish
	This patch removes the use of g_system_ptr for event scheduling. Each consumer object now needs to specify upfront an EventManager object it would use for scheduling events. This makes the ruby memory system more amenable for a multi-threaded simulation.
2012-09-10	Ruby System: Convert to Clocked Object	Nilay Vaish
	This patch moves Ruby System from being a SimObject to recently introduced ClockedObject.
2012-08-27	Ruby: Remove RubyEventQueue	Nilay Vaish
	This patch removes RubyEventQueue. Consumer objects now rely on RubySystem or themselves for scheduling events.
