1. Microops are created. These are StaticInsts use templates to provide a basic form of polymorphism without having to make the microassembler smarter.
2. An instruction class is created which has a "templated" microcode program as it's docstring. The template parameters are refernced with ^ following by a number.
3. An instruction in the decoder references an instruction template using it's mnemonic. The parameters to it's format end up replacing the placeholders. These parameters describe a source for an operand which could be memory, a register, or an immediate. It it's a register, the register index is used. If it's memory, eventually a load/store will be pre/postpended to the instruction template and it's destination register will be used in place of the ^. If it's an immediate, the immediate is used. Some operand types, specifically those that come from the ModRM byte, need to be decoded further into memory vs. register versions. This is accomplished by making the decode_block text for these instructions another case statement based off ModRM.
4. Once all of the template parameters have been handled, the instruction goes throw the microcode assembler which resolves labels and creates a list of python op objects. If an operand is a register, it uses a % prefix, an immediate uses $, and a label uses @. If the operand is just letters, numbers, and underscores, it can appear immediately after the prefix. If it's not, it can be encolsed in non nested {}s.
5. If there is a single "op" object (which corresponds to a single microop) the decoder is set up to return it directly. If not, a macroop wrapper is created around it.
In the future, I'm considering seperating the operand type specialization from the template substitution step. A problem this introduces is that either the template arguments need to be kept around for the specialization step, or they need to be re-extracted. Re-extraction might be the way to go so that the operand formats can be coded directly into the micro assembler template without having to pass them in as parameters. I don't know if that's actually useful, though.

1. Move interrupt handling to a separate function to clean up main commit() function a bit. Also gate the function call off properly based on whether or not there are outstanding interrupts, and the system is not in PAL mode.
2. Better handling of updating instruction's status bits. Instructions are not marked "atCommit" until other stages view it (pushed off to IEW/IQ), and they have been properly handled (faults).
3. Don't consider the ROB "empty" for the purpose of other stages until the ROB is empty, all stores have written back, and there was no store commits this cycle. The last is necessary in case a store committed, in which case it would look like all stores have written back but in actuality have not.

1. Update packet's flags properly when a snoop happens
2. Don't allow accesses to read a block's data if the block has outstanding MSHRs. This avoids a RAW hazard in MP systems that the memory system was not detecting properly earlier (a write required a block to upgrade, and while the upgrade was outstanding, a read came along and read old data).
3. Update MSHR's request upon a response being handled. If the MSHR has more targets than it can respond to in one cycle, then its request must be properly updated to the new head of the targets list.

src/cpu/o3/iew_impl.hh:
Allow for slightly more flexible handling of non-speculative instructions. They can be other classes now, such as loads or stores.
Also be sure to clear the state associated with squashes that are not used. i.e. if a squash due to a memory ordering violation happens on the same cycle as an older branch squashing, clear the state associated with the memory ordering violation.
Lastly don't consider uncached loads to officially be "at commit" until IEW receives the signal back from commit about the load.
src/cpu/o3/inst_queue_impl.hh:
Don't consider non-speculative instructions to be "at commit" until the IQ has received a signal from commit about the instruction. This prevents non-speculative instructions from being issued too early.
