dev: Scrub out some lingering uses of MemObject.

MemObject doesn't do anything any more, and is basically just an alias
for ClockedObject.

mem: Move ruby protocols into a directory called ruby_protocol.

Now that the gem5 protocols are split out, it would be nice to put them
in their own protocol directory. It's also confusing to have files
called *_protocol which are not in the protocol directory.

arch, cpu, dev, gpu, mem, sim, python: start using getPort.

Replace the getMasterPort, getSlavePort, and getEthPort functions
with getPort, and remove extraneous mechanisms that are no longer
necessary.

python: Don't assume SimObjects live in the global namespace

The importer in Python 3 doesn't like the way we import SimObjects
from the global namespace. Convert the existing SimObject declarations
to import from m5.objects. As a side-effect, this makes these files
consistent with configuration files.

misc: Using smart pointers for memory Requests

This patch is changing the underlying type for RequestPtr from Request*
to shared_ptr<Request>. Having memory requests being managed by smart
pointers will simplify the code; it will also prevent memory leakage and
dangling pointers.

learning_gem5: Add a simple Ruby protocol

Adds the MSI protocol from "A Primer on Memory Consistency and Cache
Coherence" by Daniel J. Sorin, Mark D. Hill, and David A. Wood.

This code follows Learning gem5 Part 3.
http://learning.gem5.org/book/part3/index.html

This is meant to be a simple, clean, example of how to make a Ruby
protocol.
Currently, it only works in SE mode.

The next changeset will contain the required configuration files.
