cpu: o3: lsq: Fix TSO implementation
This patch fixes violation of TSO in the O3CPU, as all loads must be ordered with all other loads. In the LQ, if a snoop is observed, all subsequent loads need to be squashed if the system is TSO. Prior to this patch, the following case could be violated: P0 | P1 ; MOV [x],mail=/usr/spool/mail/nilay | MOV EAX,[y] ; MOV [y],mail=/usr/spool/mail/nilay | MOV EBX,[x] ; exists (1:EAX=1 /\ 1:EBX=0) [is a violation] The problem was found using litmus [http://diy.inria.fr].
