+ *      Hit_Invalidate_D and Create_Dirty_Excl_D should only be
+ *      executed if there is no other dcache activity. If the dcache is

+ *      tag match outputs used by these cache instructions will be 
+ *      incorrect. These cache instructions should be preceded by at least
+ *      four instructions that are not any kind of load or store
