Integrate BP update with in-order core #407

Open ABenC377 opened 6 months ago

ABenC377 commented 6 months ago 
          Given it also has inter-unit buffers, should the in-order core also be updated to check for branches in these buffers and flush the branchPredictor if required?

There is a plan to overhaul the in-order core. Therefore, integration of the BP update is to be postponed until after this overhaul has taken place to reduce duplication of work.
