6.9.2 I-/D-TSB Tag Target Registers
The I- and D-TSB Tag Target registers are simply bit-shifted versions of the data
stored in the I- and D-Tag Access registers, respectively. Since the I- or D-Tag Ac-
cess register is updated on an I- or D-TLB miss, respectively, the I- and D-Tag Tar-
get registers appear to software to be updated on an I or D TLB miss.

6.9.3 Context Registers
The context registers are shared by the I- and D-MMUs. The Primary Context
Register is defined as follows:
