Connects M5 cpu and dma ports directly to ruby sequencers and dma
sequencers. Rubymem also includes a pio port so that pio requests
and be forwarded to a special pio bus connecting to device pio
ports.
Get rid of misc.py and just stick misc things in __init__.py
Move utility functions out of SCons files and into m5.util
Move utility type stuff from m5/__init__.py to m5/util/__init__.py
Remove buildEnv from m5 and allow access only from m5.defines
Rename AddToPath to addToPath while we're moving it to m5.util
Rename read_command to readCommand while we're moving it
Rename compare_versions to compareVersions while we're moving it.

fix bug with 'numThreads=len(workloads)' which was counting characters of command-line not counting threads as intended.
Update numThreads for inorder/o3 cases and default to 1 for all other cases.
-option to allow threads to run to a max_inst_any_thread which is more useful/quicker in a lot of
cases then always having to figure out what tick to run your simulation to.
This changeset also includes a lot of work from Derek Hower <drh5@cs.wisc.edu>
RubyMemory is now both a driver for Ruby and a port for M5. Changed
makeRequest/hitCallback interface. Brought packets (superficially)
into the sequencer. Modified tester infrastructure to be packet based.
and Ruby can be used together through the example ruby_se.py
script. SPARC parallel applications work, and the timing *seems* right
from combined M5/Ruby debug traces. To run,
% build/ALPHA_SE/m5.debug configs/example/ruby_se.py -c
tests/test-progs/hello/bin/alpha/linux/hello -n 4 -t
this was double scheduling itself (once in constructor and once in cpu code). also add support for stopping / starting
progress events through repeatEvent flag and also changing the interval of the progress event as well
Previously there was one per bus, which caused some coherence problems
when more than one decided to respond. Now there is just one on
the main memory bus. The default bus responder on all other buses
is now the downstream cache's cpu_side port. Caches no longer need
to do address range filtering; instead, we just have a simple flag
to prevent snoops from propagating to the I/O bus.
- Add the option of redirecting stderr to a file. With the old
behaviour, stderr would follow stdout if stdout was to a file, but
stderr went to the host stderr if stdout went to the host stdout. The
new default maintains stdout and stderr going to the host. Now the
two can specify different files, but they will share a file descriptor
if the name of the files is the same.
- Add --output and --errout options to se.py to go with --input.
