Hi Andreas. You are correct, this patch adds functionality for ruby protocols 
to enable dirty bits per byte.

It was developed to model write-combining caches in ruby. For example, see
src/mem/protocol/GPU_VIPER-TCP.sm
http://reviews.gem5.org/r/3189/diff/2/?page=7#35

src/mem/protocol/GPU_VIPER-TCC.sm
http://reviews.gem5.org/r/3189/diff/2/?page=6#85

How about the following update the description:

ruby: support for per-byte dirty bits.

This patch enables ruby to model write-combining caches (e.g., GPU-Viper).
