configs: Generalize FileSystemConfig for non se.py

This patch updates the FileSystemConfig so it works with more kinds of
config scripts (e.g., the Learning gem5 scripts).

There are 4 main changes:
- Added system as a parameter to the config_filesystem function so the
function can search the system for the number of CPUs instead of relying
on options from Options.py
- Instead of calling redirect_paths everywhere config_filesystem is
used, now it is implicitly called.
- Cleaned up the Ruby scripts a bit to remove redundant calls to
config_filesystem
- Added a config_filesystem call to the Ruby Learning gem5 script
(currently the only Learning gem5 script that requires it).

In the future, I think it would be better to move the config_filesystem
call into simulate.py, probably into the instantiate function. I tried to
use the per-CPU configuration parameters instead of options from
Options.py, but that's not possible until after the SimObject params
have been finalized in instantiate.

learning_gem5,configs: Update ruby_test

Use SimpleMemory instead of DDR3 so we can use the timing results in
tests. By using SimpleMemory, even if the DRAM timing changes the timing
of this test won't change. I expect the timing of SimpleMemory to never
change.

Currently, only SE mode is supported.

syscall_emul: [patch 5/22] remove LiveProcess class and use Process instead

The EIOProcess class was removed recently and it was the only other class
which derived from Process. Since every Process invocation is also a
LiveProcess invocation, it makes sense to simplify the organization by
combining the fields from LiveProcess into Process.

mem: Update DRAM configuration names

Names of DRAM configurations were updated to reflect both
the channel and device data width.

Previous naming format was:
<DEVICE_TYPE>_<DATA_RATE>_<CHANNEL_WIDTH>

The following nomenclature is now used:
<DEVICE_TYPE>_<DATA_RATE>_<n>x<w>
where n = The number of devices per rank on the channel
x = Device width

Total channel width can be calculated by n*w

Example:
A 64-bit DDR4, 2400 channel consisting of 4-bit devices:
n = 16
w = 4
The resulting configuration name is:
DDR4_2400_16x4

Updated scripts to match new naming convention.

Added unique configurations for DDR4 for:
1) 16x4
2) 8x8
3) 4x16

mem: Split the hit_latency into tag_latency and data_latency

If the cache access mode is parallel, i.e. "sequential_access" parameter
is set to "False", tags and data are accessed in parallel. Therefore,
the hit_latency is the maximum latency between tag_latency and
data_latency. On the other hand, if the cache access mode is
sequential, i.e. "sequential_access" parameter is set to "True",
tags and data are accessed sequentially. Therefore, the hit_latency
is the sum of tag_latency plus data_latency.

config: Make configs/common a Python package

Continue along the same line as the recent patch that made the
Ruby-related config scripts Python packages and make also the
configs/common directory a package.

All affected config scripts are updated (hopefully).

Note that this change makes it apparent that the current organisation
and naming of the config directory and its subdirectories is rather
chaotic. We mix scripts that are directly invoked with scripts that
merely contain convenience functions. While it is not addressed in
this patch we should follow up with a re-organisation of the
config structure, and renaming of some of the packages.

config: Fix 'learning gem5' configs after SMT push

This patch updates the 'learning gem5' example scripts to match the

config: Add configs scripts used in Learning gem5

Added a new directory in configs (learning_gem5) to hold the scripts that are
used in the book. See http://lowepower.com/jason/learning_gem5/ for a working
copy. For now, only the scripts in Part 1: Getting started with gem5
have been added. A separate patch adds tests for these scripts.
