Calls to queueMemoryRead and queueMemoryWrite do not consider the size
of the queue between ruby directories and DRAMCtrl which causes infinite
buffering in the queued port between the two. This adds a MessageBuffer
in between which uses enqueues in SLICC and is therefore size checked
before any SLICC transaction pushing to the buffer can occur, removing
the infinite buffering between the two.

Add support in Ruby to use all replacement policies in Classic.
Furthermore, if new replacement policies are added to the
Classic system, the Ruby system will recognize new policies
without any other changes in Ruby system. The following list
all the major changes:
* Make Ruby cache entries (AbstractCacheEntry) inherit from
Classic cache entries (ReplaceableEntry). By doing this,
replacement policies can use cache entries from Ruby caches.
AccessPermission and print function are moved from
AbstractEntry to AbstractCacheEntry, so AbstractEntry is no
longer needed.
* DirectoryMemory and all SLICC files are changed to use
AbstractCacheEntry as their cache entry interface. So do the
python files in mem/slicc/ast which check the entry
interface.
* "main='false'" argument is added to the protocol files where
the DirectoryEntry is defined. This change helps
differentiate DirectoryEntry from CacheEntry because they are
both the instances of AbstractCacheEntry now.
* Use BaseReplacementPolicy in Ruby caches instead of
AbstractReplacementPolicy so that Ruby caches will recognize
the replacement policies from Classic.
* Add getLastAccess() and useOccupancy() function to Classic
system so that Ruby caches can use them. Move lastTouchTick
to ReplacementData struct because it's needed by
getLastAccess() to return the correct value.
* Add a 2-dimensional array of ReplacementData in Ruby caches
to store information for different replacement policies. Note
that, unlike Classic caches, where policy information is
stored in cache entries, the policy information needs to be
stored in a new 2-dimensional array. This is due to Ruby
caches deleting the cache entry every time the corresponding
cache line get evicted.

This patch updates the FileSystemConfig so it works with more kinds of
config scripts (e.g., the Learning gem5 scripts).
There are 4 main changes:
- Added system as a parameter to the config_filesystem function so the
function can search the system for the number of CPUs instead of relying
on options from Options.py
- Instead of calling redirect_paths everywhere config_filesystem is
used, now it is implicitly called.
- Cleaned up the Ruby scripts a bit to remove redundant calls to
config_filesystem
- Added a config_filesystem call to the Ruby Learning gem5 script
(currently the only Learning gem5 script that requires it).
In the future, I think it would be better to move the config_filesystem
call into simulate.py, probably into the instantiate function. I tried to
use the per-CPU configuration parameters instead of options from
Options.py, but that's not possible until after the SimObject params
have been finalized in instantiate.

Python 2.7 used to return lists for operations such as map and range,
this has changed in Python 3. To make the configs Python 3 compliant,
add explicit conversions from iterators to lists where needed, replace
xrange with range, and fix changes to exec syntax.
This change doesn't fix import paths since that might require us to
restructure the configs slightly.

Prior to this changeset the bootloader rom (instantiated as a
SimpleMemory) in ruby Arm systems was treated as an IO device and it
was fronted by a DMA controller. This changeset moves the bootloader
rom and adds it to the system as another memory with a dedicated
directory controller.

This patch moves the addition of network options into the Ruby module
to avoid the regressions all having to add it explicitly. Doing this
exposes an issue in our current config system though, namely the fact
that addtoPath is relative to the Python script being executed. Since
both example and regression scripts use the Ruby module we would end
up with two different (relative) paths being added. Instead we take a
first step at turning the config modules into Python packages, simply
by adding a __init__.py in the configs/ruby, configs/topologies and
configs/network subdirectories.
As a result, we can now add the top-level configs directory to the
Python search path, and then use the package names in the various
modules. The example scripts are also updated, and the messy
path-deducing variations in the scripts are unified.
