cache: coherence protocol enhancements & bug fixes Allow lower-level caches (e.g., L2 or L3) to pass exclusive copies to higher levels (e.g., L1). This eliminates a lot of unnecessary upgrade transactions on read-write sequences to non-shared data. Also some cleanup of MSHR coherence handling and multiple bug fixes.
