configs: Fix Python 3 iterator and exec compatibility issues
Python 2.7 used to return lists for operations such as map and range, this has changed in Python 3. To make the configs Python 3 compliant, add explicit conversions from iterators to lists where needed, replace xrange with range, and fix changes to exec syntax.
This change doesn't fix import paths since that might require us to restructure the configs slightly.

configs: Use the same address ranges for dir and mem_ctrls
In Ruby, for every directory we create one memory controller for every range in the memory ranges. Previously the memory controllers and the directories created their address ranges independently and as a result a mismatch was possible. In fact, we assinged an interleaved address range with hasing for the memory controllers while the corresponding directories would be assigned the same interleaved address range without hashing.
This change uses the address range of the memory controllers to populate the list of address ranges for the corresponding directory and avoid bugs due to code duplication.

arch-arm, configs: Treat the bootloader rom as cacheable memory
Prior to this changeset the bootloader rom (instantiated as a SimpleMemory) in ruby Arm systems was treated as an IO device and it was fronted by a DMA controller. This changeset moves the bootloader rom and adds it to the system as another memory with a dedicated directory controller.

ruby: Add support for address ranges in the directory
Previously the directory covered a flat address range that always started from address 0. This change adds a vector of address ranges with interleaving and hashing that each directory keeps track of and the necessary flexibility to support systems with non continuous memory ranges.

ruby: more flexible ruby tester support
This patch allows the ruby random tester to use ruby ports that may only support instr or data requests. This patch is similar to a previous changeset (8932:1b2c17565ac8) that was unfortunately broken by subsequent changesets. This current patch implements the support in a more straight-forward way. Since retries are now tested when running the ruby random tester, this patch splits up the retry and drain check behavior so that RubyPort children, such as the GPUCoalescer, can perform those operations correctly without having to duplicate code. Finally, the patch also includes better DPRINTFs for debugging the tester.

ruby: Remove the RubyCache/CacheMemory latency
The RubyCache (CacheMemory) latency parameter is only used for top-level caches instantiated for Ruby coherence protocols. However, the top-level cache hit latency is assessed by the Sequencer as accesses flow through to the cache hierarchy. Further, protocol state machines should be enforcing these cache hit latencies, but RubyCaches do not expose their latency to any existng state machines through the SLICC/C++ interface. Thus, the RubyCache latency parameter is superfluous for all caches. This is confusing for users.
As a step toward pushing L0/L1 cache hit latency into the top-level cache controllers, move their latencies out of the RubyCache declarations and over to their Sequencers. Eventually, these Sequencer parameters should be exposed as parameters to the top-level cache controllers, which should assess the latency. NOTE: Assessing these latencies in the cache controllers will require modifying each to eliminate instantaneous Ruby hit callbacks in transitions that finish accesses, which is likely a large undertaking.

x86 isa: This patch attempts an implementation at mwait.
Mwait works as follows: 1. A cpu monitors an address of interest (monitor instruction) 2. A cpu calls mwait - this loads the cache line into that cpu's cache. 3. The cpu goes to sleep. 4. When another processor requests write permission for the line, it is evicted from the sleeping cpu's cache. This eviction is forwarded to the sleeping cpu, which then wakes up.

ruby: interface with classic memory controller This patch is the final in the series. The whole series and this patch in particular were written with the aim of interfacing ruby's directory controller with the memory controller in the classic memory system. This is being done since ruby's memory controller has not being kept up to date with the changes going on in DRAMs. Classic's memory controller is more up to date and supports multiple different types of DRAM. This also brings classic and ruby ever more close. The patch also changes ruby's memory controller to expose the same interface.

ruby: single physical memory in fs mode Both ruby and the system used to maintain memory copies. With the changes carried for programmed io accesses, only one single memory is required for fs simulations. This patch sets the copy of memory that used to reside with the system to null, so that no space is allocated, but address checks can still be carried out. All the memory accesses now source and sink values to the memory maintained by ruby.

ruby: message buffers: significant changes
This patch is the final patch in a series of patches. The aim of the series is to make ruby more configurable than it was. More specifically, the connections between controllers are not at all possible (unless one is ready to make significant changes to the coherence protocol). Moreover the buffers themselves are magically connected to the network inside the slicc code. These connections are not part of the configuration file.
This patch makes changes so that these connections will now be made in the python configuration files associated with the protocols. This requires each state machine to expose the message buffers it uses for input and output. So, the patch makes these buffers configurable members of the machines.
The patch drops the slicc code that usd to connect these buffers to the network. Now these buffers are exposed to the python configuration system as Master and Slave ports. In the configuration files, any master port can be connected any slave port. The file pyobject.cc has been modified to take care of allocating the actual message buffer. This is inline with how other port connections work.

ruby: Fixes clock domains in configuration files
This patch fixes scripts related to ruby by adding the ruby clock domain. Now the L1 controllers and the Sequencer shares the cpu clock domain, while the rest of the components use the ruby clock domain.
Before this patch, running simulations with the cpu clock set at 2GHz or 1GHz will output the same time results and could distort power measurements.

ruby: route all packets through ruby port Currently, the interrupt controller in x86 is connected to the io bus directly. Therefore the packets between the io devices and the interrupt controller do not go through ruby. This patch changes ruby port so that these packets arrive at the ruby port first, which then routes them to their destination. Note that the patch does not make these packets go through the ruby network. That would happen in a subsequent patch.
