5.5.2.61 Instruction Memory Subsystem BIST Tag MSR (IM_BIST_TAG_MSR)
The Instruction Memory subsystem supports built-in self-test (BIST) for the tag and data arrays. Normally, BIST is run dur-
ing manufacturing test. For convenience, BIST can be activated by reading the BIST MSRs.
WARNING: It is important that the instruction cache be disabled before initiating BIST via MSRs. There are no guarantees
of proper behavior if BIST is activated with the instruction cache enabled. The instruction cache can be disabled through
the IM_CONFIG_MSR (MSR 00001700h[4]).
