BCUMOD.AF affects the behavior of the BCU when it is reading a 32-byte block (a cache
line-fill). If this bit is ‘0’, then the BCU always emits the 32-byte aligned address of the cache line
when requesting it. If this bit is ‘1’, then the BCU emits the address of the “critical word” in the
cache line when requesting it. This latter setting allows external logic to implement CWF logic (as
detailed in Section10.2.3) which will usually yield higher performance.
