/**
 * This snoop filter keeps track of which connected port has a
 * particular line of data. It can be queried (through lookup*) on
 * memory requests from above (reads / writes / ...); and also from
 * below (snoops). The snoop filter precisely knows about the location
 * of lines "above" it through a map from cache line address to
 * sharers/ports. The snoop filter ties into the flows of requests
 * (when they succeed at the lower interface), regular responses from
 * below and also responses from sideway's caches (in update*). This
 * allows the snoop filter to model cache-line residency by snooping
 * the messages.
 *
 * The tracking happens in two fields to be able to distinguish
 * between in-flight requests (in requested) and already pulled in
 * lines (in holder). This distinction is used for producing tighter
 * assertions and tracking request completion. For safety, (requested
 * | holder) should be notified and the requesting MSHRs will take
 * care of ordering.
 *
 * Overall, some trickery is required because:
 * (1) snoops are not followed by an ACK, but only evoke a response if
 *     they need to (hit dirty)
 * (2) side-channel information is funnelled through direct modifications of
 *     pkt, instead of proper messages through the bus
 * (3) there are no clean evict messages telling the snoop filter that a local,
 *     upper cache dropped a line, making the snoop filter pessimistic for now
 * (4) ordering: there is no single point of order in the system.  Instead,
 *     requesting MSHRs track order between local requests and remote snoops
