* - The outer transaction ID is large enough to handle all possible inner
* transaction IDs, such that no remapping state must be maintained.
*
* This bridge DOES NOT keep the uncached channel coherent with the cached
* channel. Uncached requests to blocks cached by the L1 will not probe the L1.
* As a result, uncached reads to cached blocks will get stale data until
* the L1 performs a voluntary writeback, and uncached writes to cached blocks
* will get lost, as the voluntary writeback from the L1 will overwrite the
* changes. If your tile relies on probing the L1 data cache in order to
* share data between the instruction cache and data cache (e.g. you are using
* a non-blocking L1 D$) or if the tile has uncached channels capable of
* writes (e.g. Hwacha and other RoCC accelerators), DO NOT USE THIS BRIDGE.
