 * Description:
 *   Hazard Detection and Forward Control. This is the glue that allows a
 *   pipelined processor to operate efficiently and correctly in the presence
 *   of data, structural, and control hazards. For each pipeline stage, it
 *   detects whether that stage requires data that is still in the pipeline,
 *   and whether that data may be forwarded or if the pipeline must be stalled.

    /* Hazard and Forward Detection
     *
     * Most instructions read from one or more registers. Normally this occurs in
     * the ID stage. However, frequently the register file in the ID stage is stale
     * when one or more forward stages in the pipeline (EX, MEM, or WB) contains
     * an instruction which will eventually update it but has not yet done so.
     *
     * A hazard condition is created when a forward pipeline stage is set to write
     * the same register that a current pipeline stage (e.g. in ID) needs to read.
     * The solution is to stall the current stage (and effectively all stages behind
     * it) or bypass (forward) the data from forward stages. Fortunately forwarding
     * works for most combinations of instructions.
     *
     * Hazard and Forward conditions are handled based on two simple rules:
     * "Wants" and "Needs." If an instruction "wants" data in a certain pipeline
     * stage, and that data is available further along in the pipeline, it will
     * be forwarded. If it "needs" data and the data is not yet available for forwarding,
     * the pipeline stage stalls. If it does not want or need data in a certain
     * stage, forwarding is disabled and a stall will not occur. This is important
     * for instructions which insert custom data, such as jal or movz.
     *
     * Currently, "Want" and "Need" conditions are defined for both Rs data and Rt
     * data (the two read registers in MIPS), and these conditions exist in the
     * ID and EX pipeline stages. This is a total of eight condition bits.
     *
     * A unique exception exists with Store instructions, which don't need the
     * "Rt" data until the MEM stage. Because data doesn't change in WB, and WB
     * is the only stage following MEM, forwarding is *always* possible from
     * WB to Mem. This unit handles this situation, and a condition bit is not
     * needed.
     *
     * When data is needed from the MEM stage by a previous stage (ID or EX), the
     * decision to forward or stall is based on whether MEM is accessing memory
     * (stall) or not (forward). Normally store instructions don't write to registers
     * and thus are never needed for a data dependence, so the signal 'MEM_MemRead'
     * is sufficient to determine. Because of the Store Conditional instruction,
     * however, 'MEM_MemWrite' must also be considered because it writes to a register.
