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: Expose MessageBuffers as SimObjects
Expose MessageBuffers from SLICC controllers as SimObjects that can be manipulated in Python. This patch has numerous benefits: 1) First and foremost, it exposes MessageBuffers as SimObjects that can be manipulated in Python code. This allows parameters to be set and checked in Python code to avoid obfuscating parameters within protocol files. Further, now as SimObjects, MessageBuffer parameters are printed to config output files as a way to track parameters across simulations (e.g. buffer sizes)
2) Cleans up special-case code for responseFromMemory buffers, and aligns their instantiation and use with mandatoryQueue buffers. These two special buffers are the only MessageBuffers that are exposed to components outside of SLICC controllers, and they're both slave ends of these buffers. They should be exposed outside of SLICC in the same way, and this patch does it.
3) Distinguishes buffer-specific parameters from buffer-to-network parameters. Specifically, buffer size, randomization, ordering, recycle latency, and ports are all specific to a MessageBuffer, while the virtual network ID and type are intrinsics of how the buffer is connected to network ports. The former are specified in the Python object, while the latter are specified in the controller *.sm files. Unlike buffer-specific parameters, which may need to change depending on the simulated system structure, buffer-to-network parameters can be specified statically for most or all different simulated systems.

ruby: network: revert some of the changes from ad9c042dce54 The changeset ad9c042dce54 made changes to the structures under the network directory to use a map of buffers instead of vector of buffers. The reasoning was that not all vnets that are created are used and we needlessly allocate more buffers than required and then iterate over them while processing network messages. But the move to map resulted in a slow down which was pointed out by Andreas Hansson. This patch moves things back to using vector of message buffers.

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: Statically allocate stats in SimpleNetwork, Switch, Throttle
The previous changeset (9863:9483739f83ee) used STL vector containers to dynamically allocate stats in the Ruby SimpleNetwork, Switch and Throttle. For gcc versions before at least 4.6.3, this causes the standard vector allocator to call Stats copy constructors (a no-no, since stats should be allocated in the body of each SimObject instance). Since the size of these stats arrays is known at compile time (NOTE: after code generation), this patch changes their allocation to be static rather than using an STL vector.

ruby: replaces Time with Cycles in many places The patch started of with replacing Time with Cycles in the Consumer class. But to get ruby to compile, the rest of the changes had to be carried out. Subsequent patches will further this process, till we completely replace Time with Cycles.

ruby: improved support for functional accesses This patch adds support to different entities in the ruby memory system for more reliable functional read/write accesses. Only the simple network has been augmented as of now. Later on Garnet will also support functional accesses. The patch adds functional access code to all the different types of messages that protocols can send around. These messages are functionally accessed by going through the buffers maintained by the network entities. The patch also rectifies some of the bugs found in coherence protocols while testing the patch.
With this patch applied, functional writes always succeed. But functional reads can still fail.

ruby: avoid using g_system_ptr for event scheduling This patch removes the use of g_system_ptr for event scheduling. Each consumer object now needs to specify upfront an EventManager object it would use for scheduling events. This makes the ruby memory system more amenable for a multi-threaded simulation.

Moved the buffer_size, endpoint_bandwidth, and adaptive_routing params out of the top-level parent network object and to only those networks that actually use those parameters.

ruby: Make ruby #includes use full paths to the files they're including. This basically means changing all #include statements and changing autogenerated code so that it generates the correct paths. Because slicc generates #includes, I had to hard code the include paths to mem/protocol.
