Nilay, can you hold off checking this patch in until I commit my
changes. We have a lot of internal code that uses the current Cache
Profiler that I'll need to change. I'd rather not do that in the next
few weeks.
This patch reminds me of a larger question that is worth revisiting.
Is now the time to convert Ruby stats to gem5 stats, since gem5 stats
are now python objects and can potentially be outputted in any format.
The last half of that statement may be a streach, so please correct me
if that's untrue. As you know, I've been relucant to convert Ruby stats
to gem5 stats because many Ruby stats are useful in the debugging
process, and Ruby's more condense format is much more readable.
Meanwhile, the default gem5 stats format is optimized for data
extraction. If we could use the new python support to generate an
output file that looks a lot like the current ruby.stats file, then now
maybe a good time to switch. This is probably a better topic for a
separate thread, but I wanted to mention that thought before I forgot.

One reason why I would like to convert to gem5' style statistics is the
inability of reset ruby' statistics as of now. This is something that
several users have reported in recent past.
