0a591c5b5b Roll back use of UIntToOH1 (#946)
These appear to be equivalent, but the old one seems to fail in Vivado and
this one seems to pass.  This is not yet conclusive.

721770244e 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.)

809c7e8551 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.

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.

62ccba304c Perform tag error detectoin/correction in same cycle as RAM
The tag RAMs tend to be fast, so take up some of the slack.
This makes s2_nack faster.

This reverts commit 7d94074b05, which
works fine with optimistic behavioral RAMs but not real ones.

7d94074b05 Remove one gate from D$ ECC check
The D$ corrects via writeback, so which word the error was in doesn't
matter, as the entire line is corrected.

b9b4142bb4 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.

838864870e Bypass TLB refill signal to halve L2 TLB hit time
The 4-cycle hit time is 1 cycle too long to avoid a second
pipeline replay, so it was effectively 9 cycles instead of 4.

ae1f7a95f6 Don't nack misses when there's a pending store
That effectively increased the miss latency by 5 cycles when there was
a store hit followed by a load miss.  Since pending stores are drained
when releaseInFlight, the check I removed was redundant.

9804bdc34e 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.
