// The TBEStorage is used to track the resources consumed by the TBETable,
// i.e. the number of available TBE slots.
//
// TBEStorage resource tracking has two main differences from TBETable:
//
// 1) Allows slot reservation. This is useful to implement protocols that
// employ retry/credit messages instead of stall when the controller runs
// out of TBEs to accept new request.
//
// 2) Can also assign multiple entries to the same slot. This is useful to
// more easily model cases where multiple transactions share the same TBE
// resource (i.e. the slot).
// E.g: a request that triggers a replacement in a system without
// dedicated WB/Eviction buffer; both transactions can can have separate
// logical TBEs associated to the same slot.
//
// The motivation for having a separate structures for tracking TBEs
// availability are twofold:
//
// - Keeps TBETable simple and without the additional overhead for
// protocols that do not need these additional features.
//
// - Having two separate transactions sharing the same TBE resource using
// the current TBETable would be cumbersome since the TBETable is indexed
// by the transaction address.
