The simple network's endpoint bandwidth value is used to adjust the overall
bandwidth of the network. Specifically, the ration between endpoint bandwidth
and the MESSAGE_SIZE_MULTIPLIER determines the increase. By setting the value
to 1000, that means the bandwdith factor specified in the links translates to
the link bandwidth in bytes. Previously, it was increasing that value by 10.
This patch will likely require a reset of the ruby regression tester stats.

Moved the buffer_size, endpoint_bandwidth, and adaptive_routing params out of
the top-level parent network object and to only those networks that actually
use those parameters.

This patch ensures that both Garnet and the simple networks use the bw value
specified in the topology. To do so, the patch generalizes the specification
of bw for basic links. This value is then translated to the specific value
used by the simple and Garnet networks. Since Garent does not support
non-uniformed link bandwidth, the patch also adds a check to ensure all bws are
equal.

This patch converts links and switches from second class simobjects that were
virtually ignored by the networks (both simple and Garnet) to first class
simobjects that directly correspond to c++ ojbects manipulated by the
topology and network classes. This is especially true for Garnet, where the
links and switches directly correspond to specific C++ objects.
By making this change, many aspects of the Topology class were simplified.

Moved the Topology class to the top network directory because it is shared by
both the simple and Garnet networks.

At the same time, rename the trace flags to debug flags since they
have broader usage than simply tracing. This means that
--trace-flags is now --debug-flags and --trace-help is now --debug-help

Fixed an error reguarding DMA for uninprocessor systems. Basically removed an
overly agressive optimization that lead to inconsistent state between the
cache and the directory.

This function duplicates the functionality of allocate() exactly, except that it does not return
a return value. In protocols where you just want to allocate a block
but do not want that block to be your implicitly passed cache_entry, use this function.
Otherwise, SLICC will complain if you do not consume the pointer returned by allocate(),
and if you do a dummy assignment Entry foo := cache.allocate(address), the C++
compiler will complain of an unused variable. This is kind of a hack to get around
those issues, but suggestions welcome.

Before this changeset, all local variables of type Entry and TBE were considered
to be pointers, but an immediate use of said variables would not be automatically
deferenced in SLICC-generated code. Instead, deferences occurred when such
variables were passed to functions, and were automatically dereferenced in
the bodies of the functions (e.g. the implicitly passed cache_entry).
This is a more general way to do it, which leaves in place the
assumption that parameters to functions and local variables of type AbstractCacheEntry
and TBE are always pointers, but instead of dereferencing to access member variables
on a contextual basis, the dereferencing automatically occurs on a type basis at the
moment a member is being accessed. So, now, things you can do that you couldn't before
include:
Entry foo := getCacheEntry(address);
cache_entry.DataBlk := foo.DataBlk;
or
cache_entry.DataBlk := getCacheEntry(address).DataBlk;
or even
cache_entry.DataBlk := static_cast(Entry, pointer, cache.lookup(address)).DataBlk;

This is a substitute for MessageBuffers between controllers where you don't
want messages to actually go through the Network, because requests/responses can
always get reordered wrt to one another (even if you turn off Randomization and turn on Ordered)
because you are, after all, going through a network with contention. For systems where you model
multiple controllers that are very tightly coupled and do not actually go through a network,
it is a pain to have to write a coherence protocol to account for mixed up request/response orderings
despite the fact that it's completely unrealistic. This is *not* meant as a substitute for real
MessageBuffers when messages do in fact go over a network.

It is useful for Ruby to understand from whence request packets came.
This has all request packets going into Ruby pass the contextId value, if
it exists. This supplants the old libruby proc_id value passed around in
all the Messages, so I've also removed the unused unsigned proc_id; member
generated by SLICC for all Message types.

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.

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.

I had recently committed a patch that removed the WakeUp*.py files from the
slicc/ast directory. I had forgotten to remove the import calls for these
files from slicc/ast/__init__.py. This resulted in error while running
regressions on zizzer. This patch does the needful.

This patch converts CacheRequestType to RubyRequestType so that both the
protocol dependent and independent code makes use of the same request type.

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

This patch fixes the problem where Ruby would fail to call sendRetry on ports
after it nacked the port. This patch is particularly helpful for bursty dma
requests which often include several packets.

In SLICC, in order to define a type a data type for which it should not
generate any code, the keyword external_type is used. For those data types for
which code should be generated, the keyword structure is used. This patch
eliminates the use of keyword external_type for defining structures. structure
key word can now have an optional attribute external, which would be used for
figuring out whether or not to generate the code for this structure. Also, now
structures can have functions as well data members in them.

In order to add stall and wait facility for protocols, a keyword
wake_up_dependents was introduced. This patch removes the keyword,
instead this functionality is now implemented as function call.

non-cache.
This change fixes the problem for all the cases we actively use. If you want to try
more creative I/O device attachments (E.g. sharing an L2), this won't work. You
would need another level of caching between the I/O device and the cache
(which you actually need anyway with our current code to make sure writes
propagate). This is required so that you can mark the cache in between as
top level and it won't try to send ownership of a block to the I/O device.
Asserts have been added that should catch any issues.

None of the code in the ruby tester directory is compiled or referred to
outside of that directory. This change eliminates it. If it's needed in the
future, it can be revived from the history. In the mean time, this removes
clutter and the only use of the GEMS_ROOT scons variable.

There may not be a formally correct spelling for the past tense of mmap, but
mmapped is the spelling Google doesn't try to autocorrect. This makes sense
because it mirrors the past tense of map->mapped and not the past tense of
cape->caped.

At a couple of places in PerfectSwitch.cc and MessageBuffer.cc, DPRINTF()
