Undefined: The value of these bits are undefined on reads and must be masked
off by software.
IC_pdec: The two 4-bit pre-decode fields. The encodings are:
• Bits<3:2> = 00 CALL, BPA, FBA, FBPA or BA
• Bits<3:2> = 01 Not a CALL, JMPL, BPA, FBA, FBPA or BA
• Bits<3:2> = 10 Normal JMPL (do not use return stack)
• Bits<3:2> = 11 Return JMPL (use return stack)
• Bit<1> If clear, indicates a PC-relative CTI.
• Bit<0> If set, indicates a STORE.
Note: The predecode bits are not updated when instructions are loaded into the
cache with ASI_ICACHE_INSTR. They are only accurate for instructions loaded
by instruction cache miss processing.

)
Note: Stores to ASI_ICACHE_PRE_NEXT_FIELD are undefined unless the
instruction cache is disabled via the IC bit of the LSU control register (see
“LSU_Control_Register” on page 306).
IC_set: This 1-bit field selects a set (2-way associative).
IC_addr: this 8-bit index (addr <12:5>) selects an IC_Line.
IC_line: This 1-bit field selects two BRPD and one NFA fields for four 128-bit
aligned instructions.
