/**
 * @file
 * Declaration of a Pseudo-Least Recently Used replacement policy.
 * The victim is chosen using a tree of bit timestamps.
 *
 * A tree contains consists of leafs that represent the direction to take when
 * searching for the LRU entry.
 *
 * Let's assume each tree contains 8 replacement data entries. For example, if
 * these entries are named from A to H, and the tree's bits are:
 *    ____1____
 *  __0__   __1__
 * _0_ _1_ _1_ _0_
 * A B C D E F G H
 *
 * Then the current PLRU entry is given by the sequence:
 *     1 (get right child) -> 1 (get right child) -> 0 (get left child) -> G
 *
 * When an entry is touched the bits of the parent nodes are iteratively
 * updated to point away from it. Therefore, if entry B is touched, its parent,
 * grandparents, etc would be updated, and we'd end up with the following tree:
 *    ____1____
 *  __1__   __1__
 * _0_ _1_ _1_ _0_
 * A B C D E F G H
 *
 * Explanation: The parent of B must point away from it, that is, to the left
 * child, but it is already doing so, so it is left unmodified (0). Then the
 * grandparent must point to the right subtree, as B belongs to its left
 * subtree (0 becomes 1). Lastly, the root must point away from the
 * grandparent, so it is left unmodified (0).
 *
 * For invalidations the process is similar to touches, but instead of pointing
 * away, the bits point toward the entry.
 *
 * Consecutive calls to instantiateEntry() use the same tree up to numLeaves.
 * When numLeaves replacement datas have been created, a new tree is generated,
 * and the counter is reset.
