aa329f4757 config: Bump DRAM sweep bus speed to match DDR4 config
This patch bumps the bus clock speed such that the interconnect does
not become a bottleneck with a DDR4-2400-x64 DRAM delivering 19.2
GByte/s theoretical max.

7c18691db1 mem: Rename SimpleDRAM to a more suitable DRAMCtrl
This patch renames the not-so-simple SimpleDRAM to a more suitable
DRAMCtrl. The name change is intended to ensure that we do not send
the wrong message (although the "simple" in SimpleDRAM was originally
intended as in cleverly simple, or elegant).

As the DRAM controller modelling work is being presented at ISPASS'14
our hope is that a broader audience will use the model in the future.

--HG--
rename : src/mem/SimpleDRAM.py => src/mem/DRAMCtrl.py
rename : src/mem/simple_dram.cc => src/mem/dram_ctrl.cc
rename : src/mem/simple_dram.hh => src/mem/dram_ctrl.hh

7d883df7e5 config: Add a DRAM efficiency-sweep script
This patch adds a configuration that simplifies evaluation of DRAM
controller configurations by automating a sweep of stride size and
bank parallelism. It works in a rather unconventional way, as it needs
to print the traffic generator stimuli based on the memory
organisation. Hence, it starts by configuring the memory, then it
prints a traffic-generator config file, and loads it.

The resulting stats have one period per data point, identified by the
stride size, and the number of banks being used.
