If written, the content of the E-Cache_tag_data_register is written to the selected
E-Cache tag/state/parity fields. The contents of the E-Cache_tag_data_register
are previously updated with STA at ASI_ECACHE_TAG_DATA.
Note: Software must ensure that the two-step operations are done atomically;
e.g., LDXA ASI_ECACHE (TAG) and LDXA ASI_ECACHE_TAG_DATA, STXA
ASI_ECACHE_TAG_DATA and STXA ASI_ECACHE (TAG).
Note: The destination register of an LDXA ASI_ECACHE (TAG) is undefined. It
is recommended to use %g0 as the destination for this ASI access. The contents of
the source register in STXA ASI_ECACHE (TAG) are ignored, but the contents of
the E-Cache_tag_data_register are written to the selected E-Cache line.

Name: ASI_ECACHE_TAG_DATA
Figure A-23 E-Cache Tag/State Access Data Format
EC_tag: 22-bit physical tag field
• EC_tag<21:0>=PA<40:19> of associated data
EC_state: The 3-bit E-Cache state field. Encodings are:
• EC_state<2:0> = xx0 Invalid
• EC_state<2:0> = 001 Shared
• EC_state<2:0> = 011 Exclusive
• EC_state<2:0> = 101 Owner
• EC_state<2:0> = 111 Modified
EC_parity: 4-bit E-Cache tag (odd) parity field.
• EC_parity<3> Parity of EC_state<2:0>
• EC_parity<2> Parity of EC_tag<21:16>
• EC_parity<1> Parity of EC_tag<15:8>
• EC_parity<0> Parity of EC_tag<7:0>
