Don't permit new acquires until the release queue is drained
...
If the queue is not empty before a dirty miss, C could block D.
I haven't seen this in the wild, but it could happen because of
dirty probe responses backed up in the queue.

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.

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.
