1. Eliminate state NP in L0 and L1 Caches: The two states 'NP' and 'I' both mean that the cache block is not present in the cache. 'I' also means that the cache entry has been allocated. This causes problems when we do not correctly initialize the cache entry when it is re-used. Hence, this patch eliminates the state NP altogether. Everytime a new block comes into the cache, a cache entry is allocated. Everytime a block leaves, the corresponding entry is deallocated. 2. Separate transient state for instruction fetches: purely for accouting purposes. 3. Drop state IS_I in L1 Cache and the message type STALE_DATA: when invalidation is received for a block in IS, the block used to be moved to IS_I. This meant that the data that would arrive in future would be used but not stored since the controller lost the permissions after gaining them. This state is being dropped and now invalidation messages would not processed till the data has arrived. This also means that STALE_DATA type is not longer required.
