| Wondering if there is any possibility of getting positive values for
| "(mmcra & POWER7_MMCRA_DCACHE_SRC_MASK) >> POWER7_MMCRA_DCACHE_SRC_SHIFT"
| when the marked instruction did not have MMCRA[POWER7_MMCRA_DCACHE_MISS]
| bit set. In that case we should actually compute dsrc->val as in the previous
| case. I did couple of experiments on a P7 box, but was not able to find a
| instance for a marked instruction whose MMCRA[POWER7_MMCRA_DCACHE_MISS] bit
| not set and have a positive value POWER7_MMCRA_DCACHE_SRC field.

Confirmed again with the hardware team that if there was no DCACHE_MISS,
the DCACHE_SRC field will be clear.

Thanks,

Sukadev
