A protocol with a single, interleaved shared L2 cache where directory
state of L1 sharers is stored in the L2 tags.  Single CMP only.

A 2-level directory protocol.  Supports Multiple-CMP configurations.
Directory state at the second level is at memory.  Directory state at
the first level, to track L1 sharers, is at the interleaved L2 bank.
