+ * ROB class. Uses the instruction list that exists within the CPU to

+ * a pointer to the CPU to get access to the structure. The ROB has a large
+ * hand in squashing instructions within the CPU, and is responsible for
+ * sending out the squash signal as well as what instruction is to be
+ * squashed. The ROB also controls most of the calls to the CPU to delete
+ * instructions; the only other call is made in the first stage of the pipe-
+ * line, which tells the CPU to delete all instructions not in the ROB.
