INTERFACE
The reservation protocol for a single-level (local) bus is illustrated in Figure 13-26. It
assumes that external logic on the bus performs the following functions:
• Snoops accesses to all local bus slaves
• Holds one reservation for each local master capable of storage reservations
• Sets the reservation when that master issues a load and reserve request
• Clears the reservation when some other master issues a store to the reservation
address
