5a648f2074 configs: add option for repeatedly switching back-and-forth between cpu types.
This patch adds a --repeat-switch option that will enable repeat core
switching at a user defined period (set with --switch-freq option).
currently, a switch can only occur between like CPU types. inorder CPU
switching is not supported.

*note*
this patch simply allows a config that will perform repeat switching, it
does not fix drain/switchout functionality. if you run with repeat switching
you will hit assertion failures and/or your workload with hang or die.

b5b9d2ad3e Config: Add command line options for disk image and memory size
Added the options to Options.py for FS mode with backward compatibility. It is
good to provide an option to specify the disk image and the memory size from
command line since a lot of disk images are created to support different
benchmark suites as well as per user needs. Change in program also leads to
change in memory requirements. These options provide the interface to provide
both disk image and memory size from the command line and gives more
flexibility.

390cfc7be9 Config: Change the way options are added
I am not too happy with the way options are added in files se.py and fs.py
currently. This patch moves all the options to the file Options.py, functions
from which are called when required.

043709fdfa CheckerCPU: Make CheckerCPU runtime selectable instead of compile selectable
Enables the CheckerCPU to be selected at runtime with the --checker option
from the configs/example/fs.py and configs/example/se.py configuration
files.  Also merges with the SE/FS changes.

03229f2575 Config: Add support for restoring using a timing CPU
Currently there is an assumption that restoration from a checkpoint will
happen by first restoring to an atomic CPU and then switching to a timing
CPU. This patch adds support for directly restoring to a timing CPU. It
adds a new option '--restore-with-cpu' which is used to specify the type
of CPU to which the checkpoint should be restored to. It defaults to
'atomic' which was the case before.

a88ec980a4 Config: Add an option of type 'choice' for cpu type
This patch adds a new option for cpu type. This option is of type 'choice'
which is similar to a C++ enum, except that it takes string values as
possible choices. Following options are being removed -- detailed, timing,
inorder.

fb92578415 configs: set default cache params
It's confusing (especially to new users), when you are setting some standard
parameters (as defined in Options.py) and they aren't reflected in the simulations
so we might as well link the settings in CacheConfig.py to those in Options.py

29c45ccd23 ruby: Reduced ruby latencies
The previous slower ruby latencies created a mismatch between the faster M5
cpu models and the much slower ruby memory system.  Specifically smp
interrupts were much slower and infrequent, as well as cpus moving in and out
of spin locks.  The result was many cpus were idle for large periods of time.

These changes fix the latency mismatch.

Reorganized ruby python configuration so that protocol and ruby memory system

code works for memory tester, but have not tested fs mode.
