Bcache Tag Address Register (BC_TAG_ADDR)
Address: IPR CBU, FF.FFF0.0108
The backup cache tag register is a read-only register. Unless it is locked, the BC_TAG register is loaded with the results of every backup cache tag probe. When a tag or tag control parity error occurs, this register is locked against further updates. Software may read this register by using the 21164-specific I/O space address instruction. The register is unlocked whenever the EI_STAT register is read or when the user enters BC_FHIT mode. Unused tag bits in the TAG field of this register are always zero, based on the size of Bcache as determined by the BC_SIZE field in the BC_CONTROL register.
