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.

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.

Use SimpleMemory instead of DDR3 so we can use the timing results in
tests. By using SimpleMemory, even if the DRAM timing changes the timing
of this test won't change. I expect the timing of SimpleMemory to never
change.

Adds a new config script to configure the MI_example protocol. This script
closely follows the script used for MSI, but instead supports the
MI_example protocol. This script works with the simple_ruby runscript and
can be included instead of msi_caches.

Adds the required configuration files to run the MSI protocol. These
config files are much simpler than the current Ruby examples and follow
the pattern in the other Learning gem5 run scripts.
By default, this script runs with two CPUs and runs the recently added
thread test binary.
Currently, only SE mode is supported.
This code follows Learning gem5 Part 3.

The EIOProcess class was removed recently and it was the only other class
which derived from Process. Since every Process invocation is also a
LiveProcess invocation, it makes sense to simplify the organization by
combining the fields from LiveProcess into Process.
Names of DRAM configurations were updated to reflect both
the channel and device data width.
Previous naming format was:
<DEVICE_TYPE>_<DATA_RATE>_<CHANNEL_WIDTH>
The following nomenclature is now used:
<DEVICE_TYPE>_<DATA_RATE>_<n>x<w>
where n = The number of devices per rank on the channel
x = Device width
Total channel width can be calculated by n*w
Example:
A 64-bit DDR4, 2400 channel consisting of 4-bit devices:
n = 16
w = 4
The resulting configuration name is:
DDR4_2400_16x4
Updated scripts to match new naming convention.
Added unique configurations for DDR4 for:
1) 16x4
2) 8x8
3) 4x16

If the cache access mode is parallel, i.e. "sequential_access" parameter
is set to "False", tags and data are accessed in parallel. Therefore,
the hit_latency is the maximum latency between tag_latency and
data_latency. On the other hand, if the cache access mode is
sequential, i.e. "sequential_access" parameter is set to "True",
tags and data are accessed sequentially. Therefore, the hit_latency
is the sum of tag_latency plus data_latency.

Continue along the same line as the recent patch that made the
Ruby-related config scripts Python packages and make also the
configs/common directory a package.
All affected config scripts are updated (hopefully).
Note that this change makes it apparent that the current organisation
and naming of the config directory and its subdirectories is rather
chaotic. We mix scripts that are directly invoked with scripts that
merely contain convenience functions. While it is not addressed in
this patch we should follow up with a re-organisation of the
config structure, and renaming of some of the packages.
Added a new directory in configs (learning_gem5) to hold the scripts that are
used in the book. See http://lowepower.com/jason/learning_gem5/ for a working
copy. For now, only the scripts in Part 1: Getting started with gem5
have been added. A separate patch adds tests for these scripts.
