cpu: Make checker CPUs inherit from CheckerCPU in the Python hierarchy
Checker CPUs currently don't inherit from the CheckerCPU in the Python
object hierarchy. This has two consequences:
* It makes CPU model discovery from the Python world somewhat
complicated as there is no way of testing if a CPU is a checker.
* Parameters are duplicated in the checker configuration
specification.
This changeset makes all checker CPUs inherit from the base checker
CPU class.

cpu: Add CPU metadata om the Python classes
The configuration scripts currently hard-code the requirements of each
CPU. This is clearly not optimal as it makes writing new configuration
scripts painful and adding new CPU models requires existing scripts to
be updated. This patch adds the following class methods to the base
CPU and all relevant CPUs:
* memory_mode -- Return a string describing the current memory mode
(invalid/atomic/timing).
* require_caches -- Does the CPU model require caches?
* support_take_over -- Does the CPU support CPU handover?

arm: fix some fp comparisons that worked by accident.
The explict tests in the follwing fp comparison operations were
incorrect as they checked for only signaling NaNs and not quite-NaNs
as well. When compiled with gcc, the comparison generates a fp exception
that causes the FE_INVALID flag to be set and we check for it, so even
though the check was incorrect, the correct exception was set. With clang
this behavior seems to not occur. The checks are updated to test for nans and
the behavior is now correct with both clang and gcc.

ruby: enable multiple clock domains
This patch allows ruby to have multiple clock domains. As I understand
with this patch, controllers can have different frequencies. The entire
network needs to run at a single frequency.
The idea is that with in an object, time is treated in terms of cycles.
But the messages that are passed from one entity to another should contain
the time in Ticks. As of now, this is only true for the message buffers,
but not for the links in the network. As I understand the code, all the
entities in different networks (simple, garnet-fixed, garnet-flexible) should
be clocked at the same frequency.
Another problem is that the directory controller has to operate at the same
frequency as the ruby system. This is because the memory controller does
not make use of the Message Buffer, and instead implements a buffer of its
own. So, it has no idea of the frequency at which the directory controller
is operating and uses ruby system's frequency for scheduling events.
