Emilio Castillo ext:(%2C%20Nilay%20Vaish%20%3Cnilay%40cs.wisc.edu%3E) 01f792a367 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.

Nilay Vaish a20fbdfc23 config: ruby: remove piobus from protocols
This patch removes the piobus from the protocol config files.  The ports
are now connected to the piobus in the Ruby.py file.

Nilay Vaish 8504b079b8 ruby: correct errors in changeset 4eec7bdde5b0
Couple of errors were discovered in 4eec7bdde5b0 which necessitated this patch.
Firstly, we create interrupt controllers in the se mode, but no piobus was
being created.  RubyPort, which earlier used to ignore range changes now
forwards those to the piobus.  The lack of piobus resulted in segmentation
fault.  This patch creates a piobus even in se mode.  It is not created only
when some tester is running.  Secondly,  I had missed out on modifying port
connections for other coherence protocols.

Nilay Vaish 4070b00875 ruby: add a three level MESI protocol.
The first two levels (L0, L1) are private to the core, the third level (L2)is
possibly shared. The protocol supports clustered designs.  For example, one
can have two sets of two cores. Each core has an L0 and L1 cache. There are
two L2 controllers where each set accesses only one of the L2 controllers.
