MEM: Make the RubyPort physMemPort a PioPort instead of M5Port This patch makes the physMemPort of the RubyPort a PioPort rather than an M5Port. This reflects the fact that the M5Port and PioPort have different roles. The M5Port is really a coherent slave that is connected to the CPUs and other coherent masters of the system, e.g. DMA ports. The PioPort, on the other hand, is a master port that is connected to the memory and other slaves, for example the pio devices. This simplifies future changes into master/slave ports and is consistent with the port roles throughout the system.
util/regress all passing (disregarding t1000 and eio)
When I use this patch with the O3 CPU and Ruby combination, things work as they should.
