OK, sorry for going on about this, I'm trying to understand a few things:

1) SDM (2014-09) says in 18.9.5 (snb offcore):

"software must set at least one request type bit and a valid response
type pattern"

and

"A valid response type must be a non-zero value of the following
expression:

ANY | [('OR' of Supplier Info Bits) & ('OR' of Snoop Info Bits)]"

Is this still valid for the HSW part?

Assuming so, it appears to me that:

#define HSW_LLC_ACCESS (HSW_ANY_RESPONSE)
#define HSW_LLC_MISS (HSW_L3_MISS|HSW_ANY_SNOOP)

Would be the suitable helpers to use here. No need to set Supplier and
Snoop bits for ANY_RESPONSE.

2) I know I included it on SNB, but would SNOOP_HITM really be a miss?
>From what I can tell it could be a local MtoS w/ WB or so. Do we count
it as a miss because the WB part goes to DRAM so we still get to wait
for it (just in the 'wrong' direction)?

3) While we're there, will we get SNOOP_FWD only for Clean forwards or
also for the HITM forwards; the SDM is vague -- it would be nice if
SNOOP_FWD was a selector for all remote socket snoops.

4) SUPPLIER_NONE; I'll interpret it as specific event that lacks other
supplier info (as opposed to _any_ supplier). What kind of events would
this be?

I didn't include SUPPLIER_NONE in any events on SNB, its implied by
L3_ACCESS due to ANY, but other than that I'm not sure what to do with
it. It seems out of place for DRAM_ANY.

5) NODE-ACCESS is _any_ DRAM;
NODE-MISS is remote DRAM.

for SNB I didn't include NON_DRAM in ANY_SNOOP for this reason.

#define HSW_DRAM_ANY (HSW_LLC_MISS & ~HSW_SNOOP_NON_DRAM)
#define HSW_DRAM_REMOTE (HSW_MISS_LOCAL_DRAM|HSW_ANY_SNOOP & ~HSW_SNOOP_NON_DRAM)

6) Should we maybe use

(SNOOP_ANY & ~(SNOOP_HIT_NO_FWD|NON_DRAM))

instead for DRAM_REMOTE? SNOOP_HIT_NO_FWD seem as inappropriate as
NON_DRAM for REMOTE.

The SNB patch would look something like so I suppose..
