Changeset 10307:c8deb72db38a --------------------------- cpu, mem: Make software prefetches non-blocking Previously, they were treated so much like loads that they could stall at the head of the ROB. Now they are always treated like L1 hits. If they actually miss, a new request is created at the L1 and tracked from the MSHRs there if necessary (i.e. if it didn't coalesce with an existing outstanding load).
