A new Prefetcher namespace was added which holds the gem5 prefetchers
and means they don't all need a "Prefetcher" in their name. Unfortunately
that means that there is now both a Prefetcher namespace and a
Prefetcher class which conflict with each other.
This change tries to resolve the conflict with as little disruption as
possible by simply renaming the c++ ruby Pretcher class RubyPrefetcher,
leaving the python name alone so that configs aren't affected.

The importer in Python 3 doesn't like the way we import SimObjects
from the global namespace. Convert the existing SimObject declarations
to import from m5.objects. As a side-effect, this makes these files
consistent with configuration files.

This patch takes a step towards an ISA-agnostic memory
system by enabling the components to establish the page size after
instantiation. The swap operation in the memory is now also allowing
any granularity to avoid depending on the IntReg of the ISA.
This patch adds a prefetcher for the ruby memory system. The prefetcher
is based on a prefetcher implemented by others (well, I don't know
who wrote the original). The prefetcher does stride-based prefetching,
both unit and non-unit. It obseves the misses in the cache and trains on
these. After the training period is over, the prefetcher starts issuing
prefetch requests to the controller.
