Now you know where I stole the code from.

I think there can be multiple memory controllers attached to a single
directory controller.  So there will be a vector for ports, one port
for each memory controller.

Yes, I am assuming that a single directory controller can be attached to 
multiple
memory controllers.  In my understanding the directory controller should
subsume the role that a NoncoherentXBar would play. This really comes down 
to how actual systems are / can be designed and I may be wrong due to my lack
of experience.

I am letting this code remain as is for the time being.
