The Topology class in Ruby does not need to inherit from SimObject class.
This patch turns it into a regular class. The topology object is now created
in the constructor of the Network class. All the parameters for the topology
class have been moved to the network class.
Many Ruby structures inherit from the Consumer, which is used for scheduling
events. The Consumer used to relay on an Event Manager for scheduling events
and on g_system_ptr for time. With this patch, the Consumer will now use a
ClockedObject to schedule events and to query for current time. This resulted
in several structures being converted from SimObjects to ClockedObjects. Also,
the MessageBuffer class now requires a pointer to a ClockedObject so as to
query for time.
This patch adds and removes included files from some of the files so as to
organize remove some false dependencies and include some files directly
instead of transitively.

This patch rpovides functional access support in Ruby. Currently only
the M5Port of RubyPort supports functional accesses. The support for
functional through the PioPort will be added as a separate patch.
Moved the buffer_size, endpoint_bandwidth, and adaptive_routing params out of
the top-level parent network object and to only those networks that actually
use those parameters.
Moved the Topology class to the top network directory because it is shared by
both the simple and Garnet networks.

The necessary companion conversion of Ruby objects generated by SLICC
are converted to M5 SimObjects in the following patch, so this patch
alone does not compile.
Conversion of Garnet network models is also handled in a separate
patch; that code is temporarily disabled from compiling to allow
testing of interim code.
This mostly was a matter of changing the license owner to Princeton
which is as it should have been. The code was originally licensed
under the GPL but was relicensed as BSD by Li-Shiuan Peh on July 27,
2009. This relicensing was in an explicit e-mail to Nathan Binkert,
Brad Beckmann, Mark Hill, David Wood, and Steve Reinhardt.
This was done with an automated process, so there could be things that were
done in this tree in the past that didn't make it. One known regression
is that atomic memory operations do not seem to work properly anymore.
