Setting the physical_vnets_channels parameter enables the emulation of
the bandwidth impact of having multiple physical channels for each
virtual network. This is implemented by computing bandwidth in a
per-vnet/channel basis within Throttle objects. The size of the
message buffers are also scaled according to this setting (when buffer
are not unlimited).
The physical_vnets_bandwidth can be used to override the channel width
set for each link and assign different widths for each virtual network.
The --simple-physical-channels option can be used with the generic
configuration scripts to automatically assign a single physical channel
to each virtual network defined in the protocol.

This version of garnet includes HeteroGarnet which
supports heterogenous interconnect systems, flexible
router and link configurations, and better debugging
resources.
This patch changes the garnet directory structure
to not include the version number. The user will be
informed about the garnet version being used.

This patch detects garnet network deadlock by monitoring
network interfaces. If a network interface continuously
fails to allocate virtual channels for a message, a
possible deadlock is detected.
