/**
 * Class that implements the actual LQ and SQ for each specific
 * thread.  Both are circular queues; load entries are freed upon
 * committing, while store entries are freed once they writeback. The
 * LSQUnit tracks if there are memory ordering violations, and also
 * detects partial load to store forwarding cases (a store only has
 * part of a load's data) that requires the load to wait until the
 * store writes back. In the former case it holds onto the instruction
 * until the dependence unit looks at it, and in the latter it stalls
 * the LSQ until the store writes back. At that point the load is
 * replayed.
