ruby: message buffer, timer table: significant changes
This patch changes MessageBuffer and TimerTable, two structures used for buffering messages by components in ruby. These structures would no longer maintain pointers to clock objects. Functions in these structures have been changed to take as input current time in Tick. Similarly, these structures will not operate on Cycle valued latencies for different operations. The corresponding functions would need to be provided with these latencies by components invoking the relevant functions. These latencies should also be in Ticks.
I felt the need for these changes while trying to speed up ruby. The ultimate aim is to eliminate Consumer class and replace it with an EventManager object in the MessageBuffer and TimerTable classes. This object would be used for scheduling events. The event itself would contain information on the object and function to be invoked.
In hindsight, it seems I should have done this while I was moving away from use of a single global clock in the memory system. That change led to introduction of clock objects that replaced the global clock object. It never crossed my mind that having clock object pointers is not a good design. And now I really don't like the fact that we have separate consumer, receiver and sender pointers in message buffers.

ruby: replace Address by Addr 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.

ruby: slicc: change the way configurable members are specified There are two changes this patch makes to the way configurable members of a state machine are specified in SLICC. The first change is that the data member declarations will need to be separated by a semi-colon instead of a comma. Secondly, the default value to be assigned would now use SLICC's assignment operator i.e. ':='.

ruby: Stall and wait input messages instead of recycling
This patch allows messages to be stalled in their input buffers and wait until a corresponding address changes state. In order to make this work, all in_ports must be ranked in order of dependence and those in_ports that may unblock an address, must wake up the stalled messages. Alot of this complexity is handled in slicc and the specification files simply annotate the in_ports.
