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.

ruby: Fix potential bugs in garnet2.0

1. Delete unused variable from struct LinkEntry
2. Correct GarnetExtLink and GarnetIntLink inheritance

config: add port directions and per-router delay in topology.
This patch adds port direction names to the links during topology
creation, which can be used for better printed names for the links
or for users to code up their own adaptive routing algorithms.
It also adds support for every router to have an independent latency
value to support heterogeneous topologies with the subsequent
garnet2.0 patch.

config: make internal links in network topology unidirectional.
This patch makes the internal links within the network topology
unidirectional, thus allowing any deadlock-free routing algorithms to
be specified from the topology itself using weights.
This patch also renames Mesh.py and MeshDirCorners.py to
Mesh_XY.py and MeshDirCorners_XY.py (Mesh with XY routing).
It also adds a Mesh_westfirst.py and CrossbarGarnet.py topologies.

ruby: add support for clusters

A cluster over here means a set of controllers that can be accessed only by a
certain set of cores. For example, consider a two level hierarchy. Assume
there are 4 L1 controllers (private) and 2 L2 controllers. We can have two
different hierarchies here:

a. the address space is partitioned between the two L2 controllers. Each L1
controller accesses both the L2 controllers. In this case, each L1 controller
is a cluster initself.

b. both the L2 controllers can cache any address. An L1 controller has access
to only one of the L2 controllers. In this case, each L2 controller
along with the L1 controllers that access it, form a cluster.

This patch allows for each controller to have a cluster ID, which is 0 by
default. By setting the cluster ID properly, one can instantiate hierarchies
with clusters. Note that the coherence protocol might have to be changed as
well.

ruby: network: remove reconfiguration code
This code seems not to be of any use now. There is no path in the simulator
that allows for reconfiguring the network. A better approach would be to
take a checkpoint and start the simulation from the checkpoint with the new
configuration.

ruby: convert Topology to regular class
The Topology class in Ruby does not need to inherit from SimObject class.
This patch turns it into a regular class. The topology object is now created
in the constructor of the Network class. All the parameters for the topology
class have been moved to the network class.

ruby: remove unused variable m_print_config in class Topology


# 9496:28d88a0fda74 10-Feb-2013 Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>

ruby: record fully busy cycle with in the controller
This patch does several things. First, the counter for fully busy cycles for a
controller is now kept with in the controller, instead of being part of the profiler.
Second, the topology class no longer keeps an array of controllers which was only
used for printing stats. Instead, ruby system will now ask each controller to print
the stats. Thirdly, the statistical variable for recording how many different types
were created is being moved in to the controller from the profiler. Note that for
printing, the profiler will collate results from different controllers.

ruby: changes to simple network
This patch makes the Switch structure inherit from BasicRouter, as is
done in two other networks.

Ruby: remove config information from ruby.stats
This patch removes printConfig() functions from all structures in Ruby.
Most of the information is already part of config.ini, and where ever it
is not, it would become in due course.


# 8608:02d7ac5fb855 03-Nov-2011 Nilay Vaish<nilay@cs.wisc.edu>

Ruby: Remove some unused typedefs
This patch removes some of the unused typedefs. It also moves
some of the typedefs from Global.hh to TypeDefines.hh. The patch
also eliminates the file NodeID.hh.

network: convert links & switches to first class C++ SimObjects

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.

ruby: moved topology to the top network directory

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