zrm, can you please do a clean test for the apt sequence exactly as Alex
requested rather than just referring to the earlier one done. A swapout
timing overlap by as much as a few nanoseconds in the original test
could mean the different between HIT and MISS. So anyone able to find
this will need those details to work with.
