This is another step in the process of removing global variables
from Ruby to enable multiple RubySystem instances in a single simulation.
The list of abstract controllers is per-RubySystem and should be
represented that way, rather than as a global.
Since this is the last remaining Ruby global variable, the
src/mem/ruby/Common/Global.* files are also removed.

This is another step in the process of removing global variables
from Ruby to enable multiple RubySystem instances in a single simulation.
With possibly multiple RubySystem objects, we can no longer use a global
variable to find "the" RubySystem object. Instead, each Ruby component
has to carry a pointer to the RubySystem object to which it belongs.

This patch begins the process of removing global variables from the Ruby
source with the goal of eventually allowing users to create multiple Ruby
instances in a single simulation. Currently, users cannot do so because
several global variables and static members are referenced by the RubySystem
object in a way that assumes that there will only ever be a single RubySystem.
These need to be replaced with per-RubySystem equivalents.
This specific patch replaces the global var g_ruby_start, which is used
to calculate throughput statistics for Throttles in simple networks and
links in Garnet networks, with a RubySystem instance var m_start_cycle.

Due to recent changes to clocking system in Ruby and the way Ruby restores
state from a checkpoint, garnet was failing to run from a checkpointed state.
The problem is that Ruby resets the time to zero while warming up the caches.
If any component records a local copy of the time (read calls curCycle())
before the simulation has started, then that component will not operate until
that time is reached. In the context of this particular patch, the Garnet
Network class calls curCycle() at multiple places. Any non-operational
component can block in requests in the memory system, which the system
interprets as a deadlock. This patch makes changes so that Garnet can
successfully run from checkpointed state.
It adds a globally visible time at which the actual execution started. This
time is initialized in RubySystem::startup() function. This variable is only
meant for components with in Ruby. This replaces the private variable that
was maintained within Garnet since it is not possible to figure out the
correct time when the value of this variable can be set.
The patch also does away with all cases where curCycle() is called with in
some Ruby component before the system has actually started executing. This
is required due to the quirky manner in which ruby restores from a checkpoint.

This patch does several things. First, the counter for fully busy cycles for a
controller is now kept with in the controller, instead of being part of the profiler.
Second, the topology class no longer keeps an array of controllers which was only
used for printing stats. Instead, ruby system will now ask each controller to print
the stats. Thirdly, the statistical variable for recording how many different types
were created is being moved in to the controller from the profiler. Note that for
printing, the profiler will collate results from different controllers.

This patch removes RubyEventQueue. Consumer objects now rely on RubySystem
or themselves for scheduling events.

Get rid of the Debug class
Get rid of ASSERT and use assert
Use DPRINTFR for ProtocolTrace

This basically means changing all #include statements and changing
autogenerated code so that it generates the correct paths. Because
slicc generates #includes, I had to hard code the include paths to
mem/protocol.

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