mem: support for gpu-style RMWs in ruby

This patch adds support for GPU-style read-modify-write (RMW) operations in
ruby. Such atomic operations are traditionally executed at the memory controller
(instead of through an L1 cache using cache-line locking).

Currently, this patch works by propogating operation functors through the memory
system.
