From ddd179a4189d6f51f7be81567e1119aa67533dae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Lisa Hsu <hsul@eecs.umich.edu>
Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2008 11:11:42 -0500
Subject: Reference updates.  Since split cache is gone, a lot of config.ini
 changes, and minor changes to stats that are likely due to the decoupling of
 insertions/evictions in the cache.
