* Implementation of a TAGE branch predictor. TAGE is a global-history based
* branch predictor. It features a PC-indexed bimodal predictor and N
* partially tagged tables, indexed with a hash of the PC and the global
* branch history. The different lengths of global branch history used to
* index the partially tagged tables grow geometrically. A small path history
* is also used in the hash.
*
* All TAGE tables are accessed in parallel, and the one using the longest
* history that matches provides the prediction (some exceptions apply).
* Entries are allocated in components using a longer history than the
* one that predicted when the prediction is incorrect.
