Jason Lowe-Power e2656006df configs: Generalize FileSystemConfig for non se.py
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.

Learning_gem README
-------------------
This directory contains the configuration scripts used in the "Learning gem5"
book. The scripts contained in these directories are for educational purposes
only and should not be used for architectural research as-is.

"Learning gem5" is a work-in-progress book that is frequently updated. For the
most up-to-date version of the book, see the website.

http://learning.gem5.org/book/

This directory is broken into one subdirectory per part of the book.

If you would like to contribute (please do!) the code for the Learning gem5 book
is hosted on GitHub.

Goals of these scripts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These scripts are not necessarily useful outside the scope of the Learning
gem5 book. The goal is to include the learning gem5 scripts, following the
book as closely as possible, so that the regression tester will catch any
changes that affect the book.

For general users, these are *not* good scripts to use for running complex
architectural experiments. These scripts *are* a good starting point example
of how to write your own scripts for experiments.
