These appear to be equivalent, but the old one seems to fail in Vivado and

Fix IBuf bug
...
Don't examine a packet's xcpt signal if it might be invalid. In this case,
the correct fix is to not examine xcpt at all; the deleted code was vestigial.
(Note, the other use of xcpt(j+1) in this code is indeed safe.)

Don't merge stores that manifest WAW hazards
...
The following sequence would drop the first store when eccBytes=4:
sb x0, 0(t0)
nop
sb x0, 4(t0)
nop
sb x0, 1(t0)
Because the first and second store are to different ECC granules, the
hazard check correctly allowed the second one to proceed, but the third
was merged with the second, even though it conflicted with the first.
So, don't allow the third to be merged with the second, since the second
stored to a different ECC granule.

The tag RAMs tend to be fast, so take up some of the slack.
This makes s2_nack faster.

Get s2_nack off the critical path

We were using it to compute the next PC on flush vs. replay (which require
PC+4 and PC, respectively). This fix gets rid of the adder altogether by
reusing the M-stage PC in the flush case, which by construction holds PC+4.

tilelink: remove obsolete addr_lo signal ( #895 )
...
When we first implemented TL, we thought this was helpful, because
it made WidthWidgets stateless in all cases. However, it put too
much burden on all other masters and slaves, none of which benefitted
from this signal. Furthermore, even with addr_lo, WidthWidgets were
information lossy because when they widen, they have no information
about what to fill in the new high bits of addr_lo.
