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