5.5.2.10 IF Invalidate MSR (IF_INVALIDATE_MSR)

IF_INVALIDATE MSR may be used to invalidate the contents of the Tag RAMs (Level-1 COF cache), Level-0 COF cache,
and the return stack. Devices external to the CPU should issue writes to IF_INVALIDATE_MSR only if the CPU is sus-
pended or stalled.

5.5.2.11 IF Test Address MSR (IF_TEST_ADDR_MSR)

IF_TEST_ADDR_MSR is used to indirectly address the IF state elements, while IF_TEST_DATA_MSR (MSR 0000109h) is
used to read/write the elements. The format of the data written to, or read from IF_TEST_DATA_MSR depends on the value
in IF_TEST_ADDR MSR.
