// Todo: Probably add in support for scheduling events (more than one as
// well) on the case of the ROB being empty or full.  Considering tracking
// free entries instead of insts in ROB.  Differentiate between squashing
// all instructions after the instruction, and all instructions after *and*
// including that instruction.

/**
 * ROB class.  Uses the instruction list that exists within the CPU to
 * represent the ROB.  This class doesn't contain that structure, but instead
 * a pointer to the CPU to get access to the structure.  The ROB has a large
 * hand in squashing instructions within the CPU, and is responsible for
 * sending out the squash signal as well as what instruction is to be
 * squashed.  The ROB also controls most of the calls to the CPU to delete
 * instructions; the only other call is made in the first stage of the pipe-
 * line, which tells the CPU to delete all instructions not in the ROB.
