37/**
38 * DefaultRename handles both single threaded and SMT rename. Its
39 * width is specified by the parameters; each cycle it tries to rename
40 * that many instructions. It holds onto the rename history of all
41 * instructions with destination registers, storing the
42 * arch. register, the new physical register, and the old physical
43 * register, to allow for undoing of mappings if squashing happens, or
44 * freeing up registers upon commit. Rename handles blocking if the
45 * ROB, IQ, or LSQ is going to be full. Rename also handles barriers,
46 * and does so by stalling on the instruction until the ROB is empty
47 * and there are no instructions in flight to the ROB.
