74d309c18e Make I vs. D a static property of TLB, not an input pin 
The microarchitecture doesn't really support unified TLBs, so don't fake it.

frontend replay, reducing a critical path.

tl.a.valid path.

acca0fccf5 Fix BTB not being refilled on some indirect jumps 
We are overloading the BTB-hit signal to mean that any part of the frontend
changed the control-flow, not just the BTB.  That's the right thing to do for
most of the control logic, but it means the BTB sometimes won't get refilled
when we'd like it to.  This commit makes the frontend use an invalid BTB entry
number when it, rather than the BTB, changes the control flow.  Since the
entry number is invalid, the BTB will treat it as a miss and refill itself.

This is kind of a hack, but a more palatable fix requires reworking the RVC
IBuf, which I don't have time for right now.

exceptions in the future, we don't need to change so much code.

d5f80df0ae Allow speculative I$ refill to cacheable regions 
Backpedaling on 27b143013fccf27cd289f72f1588cca9086a457e.  Shaving
four cycles off of I$ miss penalty is obviously worth the HW cost.

sometimes we were requesting pipeline replays when they weren't
necessary.

cf168e419b Support SFENCE.VMA rs1 argument 
This one's a little invasive.  To flush a specific entry from the TLB, you
need to reuse its CAM port.  Since the TLB lookup can be on the critical
path, we wish to avoid muxing in another address.

This is simple on the data side, where the datapath already carries rs1 to
the TLB (it's the same path as the AMO address calculation).  It's trickier
for the I$, where the TLB lookup address comes from the fetch stage PC.
The trick is to temporarily redirect the PC to rs1, then redirect the PC
again to the instruction after SFENCE.VMA.
