-- Set associative icache
--
-- TODO (in no specific order):
--
--   * Add debug interface to inspect cache content
--   * Add snoop/invalidate path
--   * Add multi-hit error detection
--   * Pipelined bus interface (wb or axi)
--   * Maybe add parity ? There's a few bits free in each BRAM row on Xilinx
--   * Add optimization: service hits on partially loaded lines
--   * Add optimization: (maybe) interrupt reload on fluch/redirect
--   * Check if playing with the geometry of the cache tags allow for more
--     efficient use of distributed RAM and less logic/muxes. Currently we
--     write TAG_BITS width which may not match full ram blocks and might
--     cause muxes to be inferred for "partial writes".
--   * Check if making the read size of PLRU a ROM helps utilization
