de366a16f1 sim: simulate with multiple threads and event queues
This patch adds support for simulating with multiple threads, each of
which operates on an event queue.  Each sim object specifies which eventq
is would like to be on.  A custom barrier implementation is being added
using which eventqs synchronize.

The patch was tested in two different configurations:
1. ruby_network_test.py: in this simulation L1 cache controllers receive
   requests from the cpu. The requests are replied to immediately without
   any communication taking place with any other level.
2. twosys-tsunami-simple-atomic: this configuration simulates a client-server
   system which are connected by an ethernet link.

We still lack the ability to communicate using message buffers or ports. But
other things like simulation start and end, synchronizing after every quantum
are working.

2d6470936c sim: have a curTick per eventq
This patch adds a _curTick variable to an eventq. This variable is updated
whenever an event is serviced in function serviceOne(), or all events upto
a particular time are processed in function serviceEvents(). This change
helps when there are eventqs that do not make use of curTick for scheduling
events.

6f1187943c Replace curTick global variable with accessor functions.
This step makes it easy to replace the accessor functions
(which still access a global variable) with ones that access
per-thread curTick values.

c69d48f007 Make commenting on close namespace brackets consistent.
Ran all the source files through 'perl -pi' with this script:

s|\s*(};?\s*)?/\*\s*(end\s*)?namespace\s*(\S+)\s*\*/(\s*})?|} // namespace $3|;
s|\s*};?\s*//\s*(end\s*)?namespace\s*(\S+)\s*|} // namespace $2\n|;
s|\s*};?\s*//\s*(\S+)\s*namespace\s*|} // namespace $1\n|;

Also did a little manual editing on some of the arch/*/isa_traits.hh files
and src/SConscript.

58c63ea8b1 Get rid of outputStream... wasn't really being used
(except for warn()) and new -r/-e options make it
not worth fixing.

abc76f20cb Major changes to how SimObjects are created and initialized. Almost all
creation and initialization now happens in python.  Parameter objects
are generated and initialized by python.  The .ini file is now solely for
debugging purposes and is not used in construction of the objects in any
way.

d55b25cde6 Move all of the parameters of the Root SimObject so they are
directly configured by python.  Move stuff from root.(cc|hh) to
core.(cc|hh) since it really belogs there now.
In the process, simplify how ticks are used in the python code.

ffe6bebb05 Factor code out of main.cc and main.i into a bunch of files
so things are organized in a more sensible manner.  Take apart
finalInit and expose the individual functions which are now
called from python.  Make checkpointing a bit easier to use.
