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.

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.

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.

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.

fa6ecdf813 Fix RVC/uncacheable instruction memory performance bug
9c1d126965 was an incomplete fix, so
sometimes we were requesting pipeline replays when they weren't
necessary.

dd85d7e0a0 I$: Don't raise io.resp.valid if io.s1_kill was high previous cycle
@solomatnikov found the bug.  It doesn't manifest in Rocket because the
Frontend masks io.resp.valid with s2_valid.

d67738204f Interrupts: Less Pessimistic Synchronization (#714)
* interrupts: Less pessimistic synchronization for the different interrupt types. There are some issues with the interrupt number assignments.

* interrupts: Allow an option to NOT synchronize all the external interrupts coming into PLIC

* interrupts: ExampleRocketChipTop uses PeripheryAsyncExtInterrupts. Realized 'abstract' doesn't do what I thought in Scala.

* interrupts: use consistent async/periph/core ordering

* interrupts: Properly condition on 0 External interrupts

* interrupts: CLINT is also synchronous to periph clock

4807ce7ced dcache: put a flow Q to absorb back-pressure without restarting pipeline (#701)
* dcache: put a flow Q to absorb back-pressure without restarting pipeline

When used with a RationalCrossing, pipelined MMIO does not come out cleanly.
The first beat works, but if the second beat gets stalled, the pipeline is
restarted. This is a quick hacky test to absorb the beats. Perhaps a better
fix can be made to achieve the same effect.

* dcache: provision as few stages as possible
