Ruby X86: problem in setting DMA port, related to the changeset 8850
I think since the dma port is assigned twice (once in SouthBridge.py,
and once by Ruby somewhere) an extra port gets created which has no
peer port. This results in a segmentation fault when a simulation is
started. The posted patch solves the problem, but it is not the
solution I am looking for. Andreas, do you have some idea how to
handle this issue?
Some rudimentary testing has been carried out to ensure that
ruby_fs, fs and mem_test are working.
