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.

808701a10c memtest: Memtester support for DMA
This patch adds DMA testing to the Memtester and is inherits many changes from
Polina's old tester_dma_extension patch.  Since Ruby does not work in atomic
mode, the atomic mode options are removed.

10e25cb1d0 config: Improve ruby simobject names
This patch attaches ruby objects to the system before the topology is
created so that their simobject names read their meaningful variable
names instead of their topology name.

1765badda2 ruby: Added a mesh network with directories at the corners
The patch creates a specific mesh network where directories are at the corners.
The patch is a good example of how to create an arbitrary network, similar to
the old file specified network, while leveraging scripts and loops when
possible.

c441590b15 ruby: Removed if else statement in create_system
Based on Steve's suggestion, the ugly if-elif statement and multiple protocol

protocol string.

f88faa6c11 ruby: cleaned up ruby profilers
Cleaned up the ruby profilers by moving the memory controller profiling code
out of the main profiler object and into a separate object similar to the
current CacheProfiler.  Both the CacheProfiler and MemCntrlProfiler are
specific to a particular Ruby object, CacheMemory and MemoryControl
respectively.  Therefore, these profilers should not be SimObjects and
created by the python configuration system, but instead private objects.  This
simplifies the creation of these profilers.

dc758641c9 ruby: reorganized ruby python configuration
Reorganized ruby python configuration so that protocol and ruby memory system
configuration code can be shared by multiple front-end configuration files
(i.e. memory tester, full system, and hopefully the regression tester).  This
code works for memory tester, but have not tested fs mode.
