ok i went for a nice walk, and after about 5 circuits of the park i
had an idea: move the "packed SIMD" bit field from the register CSR
CAM table into the predication CSR CAM table. this would be possible
because there is *just* the one bit left in the predication CSR table:
union sv_pred_csr_entry {
struct {
uint64_t regkey: 5; // 5 bits
unsigned int zero : 1; // zeroing=1, skipping=0
unsigned int inv : 1; // inversion=1
unsigned int type : 1; // 1=INT, 0=FP
uint64_t regidx: 6; // 6 bits
unsigned int active: 1; // enabled=1, disabled=0
} b;
unsigned short u;
};
or.... argh, there isn't. regidx becomes 7-bit, that's now 16. sigh
i could lose the "active" bit, that would do the trick.
ok, 7 bits it is - let me sort that out.
