I understand that protocol and slicc directories are logically underneath Ruby, 
but I strongly content the small benefit of moving those directories does not 
justify the work it will create downstream.  There is a lot of code that works 
on top of the current directory structure.  I would really appreciate if we 
didn't make that change.

Also Ruby already implements crossbars, snoop filters, and other 
interconnect/coherence structures.  Why not just use those rather than add a 
new interconnect subdir?
